Content Description
This collection contains records created throughout the career of Mobile-area architect Carl F. Burmeister Jr. from 1952 to the early 2000s, including architectural drawings and project specifications. Notes, correspondence, photographs, construction reports, inspection reports, insurance records, change orders, pay information, and contract documents exist for many projects. Also present are records relating to his business, including registrations and licenses, seals and stamps, office correspondence, financial files, a 1992 survey of Mobile school facilities, and an organized opposition to the proposed use of "stock" school plans in Alabama in the 1960s.
