Scope and content
The newly constructed office building at Peterson Boat Building Co. The shipyard was founded by father and son George and John Peterson. Their yard adjoined the Foss Yard (225 E F) at the outer edge of the Middle Waterway. The small yard was in the final stages of construction in early 1943 and preparing for operation. Their specialty was fishing vessels. They continued in business at this site, until it burned in 1969.
