CA State Photographic Album 8
Alternative Title
Featuring Department of Public Works and Division of Highways facilities
Created Date
Circa 1930
Description
This album includes photographs, circa 1930, of Dept. of Public Works, Division of Highways facilities such as maintenance yards and offices.The album shows the major buildings and properties but may also include the only known images of many minor structures which may no longer exist today. The album also contains images of state-owned land and equipment and includes statistics about state properties such as information on construction, dates, dimensions, and additions. According to State Archivist J.N. Bowman in 1955, no other state had been found with such a complete series of pictures of its buildings within such a restricted time-period. Because the records were created during the Great Depression and are Department of Finance records, one can assume that the state agencies featured in the photographs would want to look their best as they justified their existence and fought for their share of funds from the state budget.
