J.F. Shea Co. collection

Description

The J.F. Shea collection primarily consists of photographs, negatives, and slides related to J.F. Shea Co. The bulk of these items appear to have been used for a book and those chapter numbers were retained. The photographs, negatives, and slides document various projects such as the Hoover Dam, Golden Gate Bridge, Owyhee Tunnel, Buckskin Mountain Tunnel, and the Parker Dam. There are also images of commercial and residential homes constructed by J.F. Shea Co., Inc.

In Box 3, there are two oversize items: 1. An aerial photograph of the Hoover Dam and a photograph album related to the construction of the Broadway Tunnel, San Francisco, California.

Note: There were some loose items that were integrated based on the subject matter. Also, the dates were gathered from items that were clearly dated. There may be material earlier or later in each folder.
