ALFRED
MAXWELL ROSENSTIRN
ROSENSTIRN,
ALFRED MAXWELL, Real Estate, San Francisco, California, was born in that city on
July 4, 1883, the son of Dr. Julius Rosenstirn and
Johanna (Baer) Rosenstirn. He married Sylvia Talbot
at San Francisco, February 23, 1910, and to them there has
been born a daughter, Sylvia Talbot Rosenstirn.
Mr.
Rosenstirn received his early education in the public
schools of San Francisco and later attended Belmont
Academy, graduating from there in
1901.
Upon
completing his education, Mr. Rosenstirn entered the
employ of the Union Trust Company of San Francisco
and remained with that institution about four years, leaving at the end of that
time to go into the real estate business in the employ of A. J. Rich and Co. He
soon familiarized himself with the business and in 1906, three weeks before San
Francisco was visited by earthquake and fire, he
embarked in the business on his own account, in association with A. L. Harrigan and L. A. Wiedemuller.
In spite of the chaotic conditions which ensued in San
Francisco after the disaster the three partners
maintained their business and during the next five years were numbered among
the successful firms of the city.
In
1911, Mr. Rosenstirn withdrew from the firm and
established offices for himself, continuing the
operations he had begun previously, and during the first year handled nearly a
million and a half dollars. Among other properties sold by him were the Ivy Ranch in Alameda County,
California, which he sold for $250,000 and
Clifton Court Delta Lands, for $175,000.
Mr.
Rosenstirn is among the progressive young men of San
Francisco, and has figured to some extent in local
politics.
