Schoenhof’s Foreign Books to close, turns focus online after 161 years in business

In the most recent iteration of a beloved Cambridge store shuttering due to high rents and low sales, Schoenhof’s Foreign Books will close its Harvard Square store at the end of March after 161 years of continuous business in the Boston area. The store will continue to exist online, as employees turn their focus on beefing up the website, but the brick and mortar at 76 Mt. Auburn St. will no longer exist after March 25.
