Kimball and Company (1857-1959) What we know today as Kimball international has its roots in the corner of a jewelry store. There is where William Wallace Kimball founded the company as a piano dealership. He later moved to the Crosby Opera House from where he sold pianos made by other manufacturers, such as, the J & C Fischer Piano Company, and others. It is important to note that at this point, Kimball was purely a dealership, not a manufacturer, although this would later change. In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire wrecked havoc to Kimball's business, razing down all the company’s assets.
