| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 11 | Title: | Austin Company Records
| | | | Creator: | Austin Company | | | | Dates: | 1866-2000 | | | | Abstract: | The Austin Company, a carpentry and contracting business, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1878 by Samuel Austin. Austin became known for his quality work, and by 1904 incorporated his business as the Samuel Austin & Son Company. Wilbert J. Austin, Samuel's son, devised "The Austin Method," a unique bundling of engineering, construction, and design services intended to streamline the building process, as well as a model for a "controlled conditions" plant, a major improvement over the hot, stifling factory environment of the day. The Austin Company grew rapidly during World War I and was able to stay solvent following the stock market crash of 1929, mostly due to the firm's major contract to build the Gorky Automobile Plant in Gorky, Russia. Business saw another increase during World War II and again during the post-war years as the Company branched out beyond industrial construction to build department stores and retail shopping centers, including the Severance Center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Overseas operations flourished in western Europe, Australia, and Argentina. Throughout the 1970's and into the 1990's, the Austin Company faced a decline in business. In 1984, the Company was purchased by the National Gypsum Company. Following National Gypsum's bankruptcy, the Austin Company was purchased by the Kajima USA Group. As of 2009, the Austin Company continued to maintain an office in suburban Cleveland. The collection consists of advertisements, agreements, annual reports, blueprints, books, brochures, certificates, charts, contracts, correspondence, film reels, financial statements, indexes, journal articles, leases, ledgers, legal documents, magazine articles, manuals, maps, meeting notices, memoranda, minutes, negatives, newsletters, newspaper clippings, notes, office manuals, photograph captions, photographs, presentations, press releases, proposals, reports, resolutions, sales literature, sales letters, scrapbooks, slides, speech texts, and videotapes. | | | | Call #: | MS 5040 | | | | Extent: | 159.26 linear feet (169 containers, 15 oversize volumes, and 28 oversize folders) | | | | Subjects: | Austin, Samuel, 1850-1936. | Austin, Wilbert J., 1876-1940. | Austin Company. | Gorʹkovskiĭ avtomobilʹnyĭ zavod. | Severance Center (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) | Contractors -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Construction industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Construction projects -- United States. | Construction projects -- Soviet Union. | Construction contracts. | Industrial buildings -- Design and construction. | Commercial buildings -- Design and construction. | Industrial engineering. | Research, Industrial. | Advertising -- Construction industry. | Construction industry -- Marketing. | Construction industry -- Public relations. | Architectural models -- Photographs.
