Under Construction

As we have been going through the 55 boxes of books and ephemera that we received a few weeks ago, we are discovering all sorts of goodies!

Among those goodies are a series of photographs of the construction of our 1909 building. We have seen a few of these, but there were lots of new ones. They seem to have been taken over the course of the construction, which took a bit more than a year, spanning 1908-1909. Luckily, someone has dated the images, which you can see in the lower right corners.

Interestingly, the names of the architect and builder were on the front of the building.
