| | | | Creator: | Lampl, Jack Jr. | | | | Dates: | 1917-1986 | | | | Abstract: | Jack Lampl, Jr. (1921-1999) was a Cleveland, Ohio, area businessman and community leader. His father Jack Sr. was the founder of financial firm Sun Finance & Loan and its holding company Sunamerica. Sun Finance & Loan was formed in the Cleveland area in 1930. Most of its business was in automotive loans, though it also provided mortgages and student loans. In 1969, Jack Sr. formed Sunamerica as a holding company for Sun Finance & Loan in order to expand its financial service package to consumers. Sunamerica dealt in proprietary education, insurance, and computer-time rental. At the height of its success, Sunamerica had 105 offices in eleven states. It was acquired in 1974 by Chemical New York Corporation, which went on to become JPMorgan Chase. Jack Sr. was also the co-founder of the real estate and construction company The Klein Lampl Company, which incorporated in 1917. In 1927, it changed its name to The Klein Lampl Homesite Company, and was the developer of several prominent Cleveland-area subdivisions. Jack Jr. graduated from Harvard University in 1942, at which time he joined his father at Sun Finance & Loan. He married Carolyn Cosel from New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1949 and became president of Sun Finance & Loan in 1959. In addition to his position at Sun Finance & Loan, he was elected president of American Finance Conference in 1963, and went on to serve on the board of the Cleveland Trust Company. Jack Jr. was an active community leader, serving as a trustee of the Cleveland Museum of Art, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Cleveland Play House Foundation, and Western Reserve Historical Society. The collection consists of correspondence, financial statements, newsletters, reports, and stock certificates. | | | | Call #: | MS 5083 | | | | Extent: | 1.81 linear feet (3 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Lampl, Jack, 1921-1999. | Lampl family. | Klein Lampl Homesite Company (Firm : Cleveland, Ohio) | Sun Finance & Loan (Firm : Cleveland, Ohio) | Sunamerica (Firm : Cleveland, Ohio) | Real estate developers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Real estate development -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | House construction -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Finance companies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Business enterprises -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Finance. | Jewish businesspeople -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| | | | Creator: | Levin, Albert and Maxine | | | | Dates: | 1928-1992 | | | | Abstract: | Albert Arthur Levin was a Cleveland, Ohio, lawyer and developer of commercial and industrial real estate. A native of Pennsylvania, he moved to Lorain, Ohio, at the age of 10. In 1918, he assumed operation of the family clothing store. After graduation from college in 1934, he became active in Democratic Party politics. He moved to Cleveland and established a law practice in 1938. He later became involved in major real estate developments, including the Marshall and Public Square buildings and the Parmatown and Shoreway shoppong centers. Levin was also a leader in fund drives for the United Jewish Appeal and Bonds for Israel, and was involved in various civic affairs, including serving as foreman of the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury (1962), trustee of the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, and co-chair of the national fund drive for Wilberforce University. He married Maxine Goodman in 1945. Maxine Goodman Levin was a civic activist and philanthropist in her own right. Born in Cleveland, she was a descendant of early Cleveland settlers. Her father, Max P. Goodman, was a prominent Cleveland attorney. Maxine Goodman Levin graduated from Ohio State University, where she studied the history of architecture.

She served on the boards of Dyke College, Cleveland State University, the East End Neighborhood House, the Jewish Community Federation, and the Catholic Social Services of Cuyahoga County. In 1969, she endowed a chair in urban studies and public service at Cleveland State University, and subsequently was instrumental in establishing the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at that school. Maxine Goodman Levin died in 2002.
