Metal access cover in a Tucson, Arizona sidewalk manufactured by Albert Steinfeld & Co. Albert Steinfeld was born in Hanover, Germany on December 23, 1854. He immigrated to the United States and arrived in Tucson in 1872 where he went to work for his uncles Albert and Luis Zeckendorf in their mercantile business. By 1878, he had risen to the position of partner and was the acting general manager of the company. In the early 1900's, Mr. Steinfeld purchased the business from his uncles and changed the name from L. Zeckendorf & Company to Albert Steinfeld & Company. The company involved itself in many types of commercial enterprise. In addition to Steinfeld's Department Store, which would remain in business for 135 years, there was a retail grocery business, a brick manufacturing company, a wholesale liquor business, and a wholesale hardware sales operation. They also manufactured mining equipment and other hardware like the cover shown here. The company also owned farms and ranches. In 1910, Steinfeld became the president of the Consolidated National Bank. He then developed the Pioneer Hotel and donated the land for the VA hospital. Steinfeld was also very active in the development of mining properties in Bisbee, Ray, and Silverbell. He was also involved in smaller mining operations. Two of those were the Mowry Mine south of Patagonia, and the Alto Mine near Salero. There is one report that he had dealings with Wyatt Earp and his brothers over the mining properties that they owned. Albert Steinfeld died in 1935.
