Edgar P. Benjamin, an 1894 graduate of Boston University's Law School, established a private practice in civil and criminal law of which he said, 'I am sole counsel for many large firms and corporations, and businesses, many of which are white. . . .' In 1927 Benjamin founded Resthaven, a charitable nursing home for the elderly on Fisher Avenue in Roxbury. Today Resthaven Nursing Home is a 260-bed facility carrying on the tradition of community service begun by Edgar P. Benjamin.
