William A. Carr diaries, 1902-1913

12 volumes. William A. Carr served as superintendent of the Frick Building in Pittsburgh from 1902 until 1912, though these papers also contain one of his diaries from 1913. During his tenure, he kept annual diaries documenting visitors, meetings, payroll, and events. Carr also recorded information concerning the whereabouts of Henry Clay Frick and other associates, such as D.B. Kinch, and makes general observations on the weather. Numerous clippings are pasted into the diaries, including general news items, business and financial information, politics, real estate, social events, and obituaries. The scope of these clippings ranges from local Pittsburgh news to national and international events.
