  Fourth Los Angeles Times Building Construction

  Manuscripts

  Construction files for the fourth Los Angeles Times building. This sub-series has been divided into two parts: The first is financial statements and construction vouchers from contractor P.J. Walker and architect Gordon P. Kaufmann. The second part is bid and contract files which detail the costs and specifications for every component of the building's construction. The bid and contract files, which include a substantial amount of correspondence and memoranda from H.E. Downing and Jacob Baum, were numbered and indexed at the time they were created. The numbering system is maintained in the current arrangement. Date range is 1928-1951.
