The Donors
Barry Rosensteel is a native of Connellsville, Pennsylvania. His family has a long association with that region, dating back over two hundred years to some of the early settlers. For example, through his mother’s side of the family, he is a descendent of Henry Beeson, an English settler, who founded nearby Uniontown in 1796. His father’s family immigrated from Germany around the same time. Mr. Rosensteel’s wife Elizabeth was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and later lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, with her family. Barry and Elizabeth met on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh, when Barry was a Sophomore at Pitt.
After having planned and overseen the development of real estate ventures for Fortune 100 corporations throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Mr. Rosensteel formed his own real estate development and consulting group. He is presently Managing Director of PRIN Investments Real Estate Group located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Mr. Rosensteel has diverse interests with a love for professional football, basketball, boxing and Formula 1 racing. He also has a passion for collecting art from around the world with specific interests in Latin American art, Asian art, contemporary sculpture and figurative art as well as a love for European sports cars, and motorcycles.
Mrs. Rosensteel attended Boston University and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. With the exception of a brief five years as the first elected Principal of Taliesin Architects, Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio and school, Mrs. Rosensteel has owned her own interior/architectural design firm, Elizabeth A. Rosensteel Design Studio, specializing in 12,000–30,000 sq. ft. custom designed homes and commercial/hospitality projects. She has a long record of vocal performance and sang with the Phoenix Symphony for about 14 years.
