Adolph Kiesler attends a cornerstone ceremony for Beth Israel Home for the Aged at West 16th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard, Denver, Colorado. He stands in a suit and holds his hat in his left arm while shaking hands with a man in a suit and overcoat. Two men in suits, hats and overcoats stand behind Adolph Kiesler. Two men in work clothes stand behind the cornerstone that is attached to a pulley. "Home for the Aged 1940 Erected 5700" is chiseled on the stone. A boy stands, and two boys (one wears a jacket, the others are in shirtsleeves) sit on a brick wall. Adolph Kiesler was born in Romania on October 18, 1880 and died in Denver, Colorado on December 19, 1967. He started the Peerless Alloy Company in Denver, Colorado in 1908. A philanthropist, he was a founder and president of Beth Israel Hospital and Geriatric Center, formerly Beth Israel Home for the Aged and Beth Israel Hospital, and was active in the Allied Jewish Federation.
