John Davison Rockefeller, Jr. (January 29, 1874 – May 11,

1960) was a major philanthropist and a pivotal member

of the prominent Rockefeller family. He was the sole son

among the fi ve children of businessman and Standard

Oil industrialist John D. Rockefeller and the father of the

fi ve famous Rockefeller brothers. In biographies, he was

invariably referred to as “Junior” to distinguish him from

his more celebrated father, known as “Senior”.

After graduation, Rockefeller, Jr. joined his

father’s business (October 1, 1897) and set up operations

companies in 1910 in an attempt to “purify” his ongoing

philanthropy from commercial and fi nancial interests.

During the Great Depression he developed and was the

sole fi nancier of a vast 14-building real estate complex in

the geographical center of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center.

Rockefeller Center than to any other project.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., leased the space from

Columbia University in 1928 and began development in

1930. The land was cleared of more than 200 browstone

houses and other antiquated buildings. Rockefeller

initially planned a syndicate to build an opera house

for the Metropolitan Opera on the site, but changed

his mind after the stock market crash of 1929 and the

withdrawal of the Metropolitan from the project. Rockefeller

stated “It was clear that there were only two courses

open to me. One was to abandon the entire development.

The other to go forward with it in the defi nite knowledge

that I myself would have to build it and fi nance it alone.”

Insurance Company and covering ongoing expenses

through the sale of oil company stock, he took on the
