1866 (when Patrick John Kenedy died)... oldest Roman Catholic publishing house in America...moved to Barclay Steet 1873...incorporated 1904...moved 44 Barclay in May 1911.... Expanding in the usual way, Kenedy acquired plates and stock from other firms, so that, as Healey observes, "It was later said that the Kenedy business was built on the wreckage of many failures." (Tebbel). Although acquired by Crowell Collier in 1968 (which was variously absorbed and reabsorbed), Kenedy apparently remains a privately owned and lively Catholic publisher as of 2008.
