Contract for Construction of the Post Office in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Newark, NJ: Bergen Essex Construction Company, 1939. Original edition. Staplebound Pages. Quarto, pp. ~600, illustrated with b/w specification drawings. Some pencil inscriptions on the front page. Very Good. Item #23980
This contract is bound into two volumes. The first volume dictates the materials, timeline, techniques, and labor to be used for the construction. The second volume is an addendum, apparently written by the bidding company, of their requirements on payment, subcontracting, disputes, cleanup, and other topics. An unique piece of Massachusetts contract law history, and more generally, a unique relic of 1930s municipal federal buildings.
Price: $120.00
