  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?
