Stoneson Brothers
Henry Stoneson s obituary captures the legacy of these two brothers: Mr. Stoneson was given credit for a new concept in buildings -the city within a city.
Henry (1895-1958) and Ellis (1893-1952) Stoneson created major housing and shopping near San Francisco s Lake Merced. The Stoneson Development Corporation built close to 25,000 homes in the Bay Area and became one of the nation s largest home building companies.
Born in Victoria, Canada (the sons of immigrant Icelanders) the Stoneson Brothers arrived in San Francisco in 1920 and started building houses on a small scale. Business increased during the Depression with the liberal lending policies of the Federal Housing Administration, and later the Stonesons benefited greatly from government funding to create wartime housing during World War II.
