George A. Fuller Company (General Contractor), 1952-1953

The collection comprises the records of the original construction of the Clark Art Institute's Museum Building, formerly known as the 55' Building. The records document development and construction from 1952 to 1960.

Documentation of the project includes a very small number of photostat prints, a few hectographs and the majority of the inventory consists of blueprints and diazo-print architectural drawings. Other items include preliminary designs, consultant documentation, project team correspondence, certificates, contracts, permits, affidavits, etc.

Additionally, there are several filing cabinet drawers in the North Court storage room that still contain Museum Building drawings that can be added to this collection. There are also several drawers full of various manuals, receipts, and correspondence. These drawers were intended to be part of this collection, however, due to time/staff/resource constraints it was decided that these materials should stay where they are for now and that a future Archival Studies graduate student can use them as an internship project.
