Harry joined John’s real estate office in 1917, and Ambrose joined the firm by 1918. From about 1915 to 1953, the firm primarily constructed homes and apartment buildings. In about 1954, the firm began to primarily deal with real estate transactions. [[#References|[2]]] Ambrose Alexander passed away on March 31, 1961. [[#References|[3][5][6]]]
