Scope and content
Briggs Manufacturing Co. specialized in prefabricated homes. According to the 1954 City Directory, Ralph C. Bekken was listed as superintendent; the business was located at 3755 South 60th St. A series of progress photographs was taken in late March, 1954, showing how prefabricated homes could be constructed rapidly and by a smallish crew. Hand-drawn clocks were placed in the left corners of these photographs to show the time when each photograph was taken. View of crew with pre-fab home; some walls are up with window and door openings in place. Workers may be getting ready for roof trusses in this 11:00 am photograph. Location of this home was not given; the lot was apparently a heavily wooded one.
