#vola-5: Samuel Rudins' father lived and worked downtown on Christie Street. He bought the first piece of real estate the Rudin family would own in 1902 all the way uptown on East 54th Street. Years later when Samuel Rudin asked his father why he purchased this apartment house so far from the community they lived in he replied, "If it's good enough for the Rockefellers it's good enough for me!" And he admonished Samuel never to sell it and to try and buy all the property around it. It took the family 60 years but they did manage to secure many of the surrounding properties. To this day, that building still exists in the Rudin portfolio. Mr. Lewis Rudin related fascinating stories of how his family evolved into the major builders and real estate owners of New York. By borrowing money from his relatives, his father Samuel was able to purchase a lumber yard in Westchester and built his first building, a six-story elevator building on Benson Street. Rudin conjectured that this was probably one of the first elevator buildings of the time. The Rudin organization still owns and operates that building. Mr. Rudin's mother was unhappy in Throgs Neck (he ventured that they were probably the only Jewish family in the neighborhood) so his father built two apartment buildings on West 86th Street one of which Lewis and his brother Jack grew up in! Through the years the business acquired most of the surrounding property. After World War II and finishing college, Lewis and his brother Jack started building a number of apartment buildings in the city. In the 1950's they bought property to build their first office building on Madison Avenue. "In the course of some 30 or 40 years we built 14 or 15 office buildings and 20 some-odd apartment houses which we still own and operate," stated Mr. Rudin.
