Copy of receipt of John S. Walton, city treasurer, for money in the Girod Fund handed over to Mayor Stephen Hoyt., August 30, 1864
Scope and Contents
The records include financial documents, letters, and reports relating to the Girod Fund's investments and to contracts with and payments to Samuel Johnston, the contractor who built the Asylum, and his subcontractors. A calendar of the papers, prepared by Glenn McMullen in 1975, is available below.
The City Archives does not calendar records as a rule. The Girod Fund and Asylum records were processed some time ago more or less as an experiment. One of our volunteers recently transferred the original handwritten pages to an electronic format, thus making it possible for us to mount the calendar here.
