About This Item

Post-bound album containing 27 linen-backed silver prints showing (with one exception) residential and institutional construction projects completed using granite supplied by the North Carolina Granite Company of Mt. Airy. NC. The exception is a photo of a stack of flagstones at the quarry. Each photo is 7.5 x 9.5 inches, and nearly all have identifying information on the front. Label at the back of the album identifies it as "Book Number Twenty Two" and lists the photo numbers it contains. Labels at both front and back identify the album as on loan to Dearborn, MIchigan, sales agent Charles H. Gall. Includes images of the St. Charles Seminary (Overbrook, PA); Roman Catholic Church Rectory (Philadelphia); Zion Reformed Church (Baltimore); First Presbyterian Church (Mt. Airy, NC); First Evangelical Church (Williamsport, PA); Harlem Methodist Episcopal Church (Baltimore); Bethesda Methodist Episcopal Church (Salisbury, MD); Moravian Church (Mount Airy, NC); Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church (Baltimore); and residences in Greensboro, Winston Salem, Mt. Airy, and Asheville, NC. The album itself is well worn, with rear board detached (but present), loss at spine and some black cloth tape repairs to the edges. Photographs all very good.
