Mount Wilson Toll Road Company Records
Manuscripts
This collection contains business records chiefly related to the finances of the Mount Wilson Toll Road Company, which built the Mount Wilson Toll Road, a ten-mile wagon road it completed in 1891 from the foothills above Pasadena, California, up to Mount Wilson in the San Gabriel Mountains. The records contain 12 folders in 1 box plus 10 volumes. The inclusive dates are 1903-1953. The two largest folders each have 36 items while the two smallest folders each have only 1 item. The folders include correspondence, insurance policies, lists of shareholders, tax documents, a description of the trip of Mt. Wilson, and other documents about the Mt. Wilson Toll Road Company and the Mount Wilson Hotel Company. The correspondence deals chiefly with the company's finances, and many, including letters from the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, are about tax issues. There are also 9 volumes of ledgers and journals, and 1 volume is a register book for the Mount Wilson Hotel. The volumes are arranged chronologically. The records provide a unique perspective to view corporate history in Southern California. In addition, pamphlets and newspaper clippings in Tax Documents (1919) show the company's concern over the newly enforced income tax policies. Subjects in the records include Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles, Liberty bonds, and Southern California Edison Company.
