Benjamin Rose was a Briton, industrialist, and philanthropist who came to Cleveland in 1848. In 1875 he formed the Cleveland Provision Company, Cleveland's largest meat packer, and he pioneered meat shipping using refrigerated cars. He built the Rose Building at E. 9th and Prospect in 1900, was an incorporator of the Case School of Applied Science, and served as a vestryman at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. At his death, his primary bequest of $3 million established the Benjamin Rose Institute to care for the elderly poor.
