Overview

John Rosenfeld's Sons, Incorporated, a New York-based wholesale coal company, operated its bunkers at Pier 4 on San Francisco's waterfront in 1900. In 1900, the Crocker-Langley Directory of San Francisco stated of the firm: "John Rosenfeld president, Louis Rosenfeld vice-president, Henry Rosenfeld secretary, shipping and commission merchants, and proprietors Dispatch Line of Clipper Ships to New York, agents of the New Vancouver Coal Mining and Land Co., Limited, and wholesale coal dealers. bunker Pier No. 4, office 202 Sansome." (See Crocker-Langley Directory of San Francisco, California, 1900, p. 1487.) Pier #4 stood about midblock on East Street South between Howard and Mission Streets. In 2017, Pier #14 roughly occupied the same location.
