    MINT BUILDING IMAGES

    One interesting item I added to my library this week was
    the 1869 "Report of Supervising Architect of the Treasury
    Department." The disbound volume contains wonderful
    images of the U.S. branch mints at Carson City, Nevada
    and San Francisco, California, and the Assay Office at Boise
    City, Idaho. The Mint views are ones I don't recall seeing
    before, although they may well have appeared elsewhere.
    The text notes that construction on the San Francisco mint
    "has commenced," so perhaps this image is based on an
    architect's drawing. The report also recommends the sale
    of the mint buildings at Charlotte, NC and Dahlonega, GA.
    Like the mint director's reports, the supervising architect's
    reports were an annual affair, so perhaps a set of images
    of all U.S. Mint building could be assembled through these
    reports. Do any of our readers have a set of these?
