John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial
Rockefeller Center
New York, September 2007
“John Davison Rockefeller Jr. (January 29, 1874 – May 11, 1960) was an American financier and philanthropist, and the only son of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller. He was often known as “Junior”, to distinguish him from his father. He was involved in the development of the vast office complex in midtown Manhattan known as the Rockefeller Center, making him one of the largest real estate holders in the city. Towards the end of his life, he was famous for his philanthropy, donating over $500 million to a wide variety of different causes, notably in educational establishments. Among his more notable projects was the reconstruction of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.” (John D. Rockefeller Jr., Wikipedia)
