Casa de Schwartz

It is very hard to tell when Max Schwartz and Anna Balyetsky landed in Boston. The best guess is around 1875, shortly before they got married. They apparently came from “Pale of Settlement” region of Russia Max started his career as a tailor, but he amassed some properties and eventually listed his occupation as real estate. They somehow were able to send four sons to MIT. Several of the children remained unmarried or ended up with no offspring
