Detailed accounts of the work of a largely unknown itinerant Massachusetts housewright and general builder Simeon P. Pullen. Housewrights were somewhat different than simple carpenters in that they could make plans organize other workers and bring a building project to completion. Little is known about Simeon P. Pullen personally although his marriage to Mary L. Bradford appears in the Fall River Mass. records in 1829. His work detailed here was for jobs in Fairhaven Dartmouth New Bedford Mansfield and Providence R.I. and he boarded his family on location. For a job in Dartmouth in April 1 1834: "Simeon P. Pullen moved into David Crosby house the last day of march 1834 hired the hole consern for one year and to pay him forty dollars rent". His crew at the time included David Cardy who began work May 12 1834 for $5 a month Crapo probably Isaac Crapo and Sparrows whose first name is not given. The next job was in Fairhaven with Mr. Pearce "to finish a part of Mr. Abernathy hous for $225. and find more new stuff ". In 1833: "Mr. William and Charles Mason to Pearce & Pullen for work on Andrew Rodman house witch thay agree to pay and on Miss rodman hous". In Dartmouth in 1834 Pullen did a major job building a bridge for Joseph Gifford at $1.17 per worker per day. In Providence in 1836 & 1837 Pullen was in partnership with one Isaac G. Brown. They worked on projects for Mr. Baker Elisha Durfee's wharf and D. Vincent. "Providence August 1837. D. Vincint to Brown & Pullen for one door frame $1.00 to one window fraim .50 for putting the pediment a crost the north end $12 for a pot closet under the garet stairs $2.00 to cobboards in the chimney $6.00 for repairing the well drum .50 to buildin the fence at .33 per foot $13.33." In August of 1838 Pullen built a jeweller's shop in Providence for Benjamin B. Brownell for $450. He and his crew worked on the steamboat John W. Richmond as well as for "Dr. Arminton". The steamboat John W. Richmond plied the waters between New York and Providence and was named for a successful physician who was also known for holding much of the State of Rhode Island's Revolutionary Debt in bonds and stocks. The last jobs in the book are back in the Fairhaven and New Bedford area. <br/><br/> hardcover books
