TITLE: Building survey dead files
DATES: 1948-1965
ARRANGEMENT: Alphanumeric

DESCRIPTION: This series contains surveys done on commercial buildings that were classified as risks by the building inspector. These files seem to have been used to determine if the buildings could be saved or had to be destroyed. They were considered dead files once the information was no longer valid, due to renovation or demolition. The files contain such information as the date of the survey, the surveyor, address, name of business. All of the buildings information, and how many businesses where housed in it. Most of these reports note that the building was eventually demolished either in whole or in part.
