Family History

Located in Union Springs, Alabama, this c.1906 fixer upper is the Rosenstihl-Reid House called Rosedale.

 

 

 

It was originally owned by Col. Henry Joseph Rosenstihl (1869-1959), jeweler and Union Springs fire chief, and his second wife Anna. Rosenstihl’s Jewelry Store was owned by father and son German-born William Rosenstihl and son Henry Joseph Rosenstihl.  The senior Rosenstihl was an expert watchmaker. After his death, Henry continued to operate the jewelry store, graduating from the Horology School at the Bradley Institute of Technology and continuing as a jeweler for seventy years.

Henry’s daughter Helen Claire (1911-1974), a famous stage star in adulthood, was born at this house. Highly educated, Helen began acting in the 1930s, starring in more than a hundred roles on the stage, on and Off Broadway, summer stock,  radio and television.

    This is a perfect example of a historical renovation gone wrong. Obviously the people had no clue what they were doing by completely demolishing the upper floors. What a SHAME!
