Watson House Committee (Rec. Gr. 114)

The records in this group comprise documents relating to the activity of the Watson House Restoration Committee, Watson House Committee as well as its predecessor, the Furnishings Sub-Committee of the Watson House Restoration Committee. Included are minutes of the Committee and its subcommittees, budgets, correspondence of the committee chairs, members, and the Watson House caretakers. There are maintenance records, extensive inventories of the furnishings in the house as well as documents relating to the various activities that have taken place over the course of the committee's supervisory function of the Watson House. While the dates of the records are 1962- 2002, inclusive, the bulk of the records date in the 60's and 70's when the committee was most active. The records were kept in the second floor office of the Watson House and were transferred to Special Collections in November 2002 by the current Chairman, Irving Taylor. The records are in good condition and are available for research. Records relating to the restoration of the Watson House can also be found in the personal (MSG#1) and Presidential papers (RG#1) of Carl Woodward.
