"Small world"
I learn every day.
Like today is George Peabody's birthday. (Peabody Mass.) He was one of America's first philanthropists, a banker, financier, and established the first ever housing trust in London. He was able to secure credit form the bank of London for his own bank.
He built quality affordable housing for laborers and low income people in Spitalfields, then Westminster. His buildings still stand today.
He had no son to take over his business, so he hired J.P. Morgans father as an apprentice, and to assume his holdings upon his death.
