Abstract:
This collection documents the business dealings of Baldwin & Howell--a firm which specialized in realty, insurance, property management, leasing, loans, insurance, and appraisal. The records in the collection span the years between 1891 to 1974, but the bulk of the collection contains material from the 1890s to the 1940s. These records provide insight into the residential housing developments of which the Baldwin & Howell Company was a part, documenting the origins of many contemporary San Francisco, Bay Area, and Northern California neighborhoods.
