Flour City Ornamental Iron Works Company records

The collection contains photographs, certificates and account books of the Flour City Ornamental Iron Works Company. Two xeroxed account books (1893-1895) contain sketches with dimensions, names, job numbers and charges. Six certificates (1945-1971) are also included in the collection.

The bulk of the collection consists of five boxes of photographs, assembled into three groups. The first three boxes comprise the first group and include buildings or subjects for which 8 x 10" photographs and/or negatives may also be included. The second group is contained in Box 4. These are exclusively small format (usually 4 x 5") prints and negatives. The prints are mounted on needle-indexed cards and cannot be removed in most cases without recourse to a professional conservator. The third group is contained in Box 5. These are large format photographs mounted on boards stock, probably made for display or presentation purposes in the company. Most of these are duplicates of photographs to be found in the other four boxes.
