Charles Josselyn was a San Francisco businessman born in 1847. His father had built up a ship's chandlery business[1].
In 1895, Charles helped found the Great Western Can Company, which was merged into the American Can Company in 1900. Josselyn took a year off to see Europe in subsequent years[2]. He built his Vinegrove estate in Woodside, designed by Bernard Maybeck[3].
