Portrait of Civil Engineer J. Lee Berry wearing a three-piece tweed suit and fedora hat with his hand on the scope of a surveyor's instrument. In May of 1936, Mr. Berry was the federal project engineer for the city of Bremerton. He oversaw all the engineering work on WPA, CWA, PWA and all other federal projects done in the city. According to his estimates, about 3/4 of his time was spent working in his office and the remaining 1/4 was spent in the field, performing work such as surveying. He was educated at the University of Washington and Whitworth College before entering the construction business with his father S.H. Berry. (Bremerton Sun 6/1/1936, pg. 1).
