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?- 2004-08-29
