Rilling, chapter 4, page 15; & speech to Carpenters' 4/1990 on ground rent system Some carpenters did even supplement as apprentice's common school education with training for their craft. In 1820 Moses Lancaster reimbursed his apprentice Charles Noble $58 for "Washing [and[ for drafting School Expenses." The drafting school, however, was less a formal instructional institution, than occasional classes offered by a few men who promoted themselves as architects. page 16 Few drafts of house plans survive from the antebellum period, and it tempting to conclude that house carpenters rarely drew designs. More likely, however, they sketched their ideas and clients' wishes informally, rather than in measured sketches, in the course of discussing building. . . Perhaps Harker and Thorn's "original plan" was no more than the sort of faint sketches contained in Moses Lancaster's receipt book -- sketches later covered by writing, whose uneven lines suggest extemporaneous responses to questions encountered at the building site or in discussion with a client. page 19 Painter and glazier William Haydock stipulated in his 1820 contract with Moses Lancaster that the house carpenter finish the house "with good Materials as [Lancaster] has Put in the Houses he is building on the Old York Road." John Croman agreed to paint ten houses "to be finished in the same way that those 4 houses were finished in Julian Street;" implicit in the reference was the number of coats and kind of tints that Croman would apply. James M. Jackson probably visited the same four houses and agreed to supply grates, ash pan, and dust flues "the Price to be Regulated by the Bill of Moses Lancasters Grates in Four Houses in Julian Street . . and the work to be done in the same manner and of the same kind of materials. . ." Plasterers Allen and Hollowbrush examined rooms adjoining and contracted to plaster the other 'Five rooms and Entry Corniced" in the same fashion." page 21 Master house carpenters subcontracted by stipulated price, day rates, piece work, and measurement agreements. In 1817 Robert Flinn offered to plaster Moses Lancaster's house for $325, and in 1827 another house "including bath house Privy and Rendering Cellars three rooms and Entry to be cornished" for $140. page 28 A critical purpose of the contract or subcontract was to clarify who "found" materials. Procuring one's own materials was considered part of the distinction of master craftsmanship, but the question was often who paid for them. . . When William Haydock consented to supply Moses Lancaster with "Painting and Glazing and the Materials" for one of his houses under construction in 1819, Haydock agreed that "the glass in the front and back parlour . . . be of good english glass all the other back windows to be of good common glass." page 32 Many lumber businesses survived beyond the activity or life span of the partners. The firm trading as (John) Britton & (Samuel) West in the last decade of the18th century became (Jonathan) Conard & West in the early 1800's, and Conard & (John) Lancaster after another decade. In 1823 Moses Lancaster paid Conard for his partnership interest in the "Lumber yard Strips Horse and Carts Good will of the Lease etc." stable, and counting house, and the "stock of lumber including the Shingles." Cousins John and Moses Lancaster continued to trade under the name J. & M. Lancaster until 1826, when John retired. For the next few years, Moses Lancaster & Co. functioned with Jacob Bachman, formerly a journeyman house carpenter and then an employee of the yard, as Lancaster's close assistant, if not his actual partner. page 37 Patronizing diverse suppliers was not a strategy limited to failing builders. In 1818 alone, Moses Lancaster used 11 sources for lumber, averaging $223 in expenditures per merchant. Even when Lancaster ran his own board yard, he bought lumber from other merchants in several instances. page 42 Info here on his purchase of bricks for construction; page 43 on stone; 46 on lime-making; 49 on raising frame of house. -------------------- Donna Rilling's speech to Carpenters' Company Refers to Lancaster as one of Company's successful house builders. -------------------- E-mail in file from descendant tells of son who moved to Wilkinson County, Mississippi. -------------------- City Directory - 1814 - Moses, carpenter, 11 Wood St., Northern Liberties 1820, 24 - Moses, carpenter, 180 N. 4th 1826 - Moses, lumber merchant, N. 4th near Tammany; dwelling 180 N. 4th City Directory - 1830, 35 - Moses Lancaster, house carpenter, Old York Road near Green St. 1840 - Moses, oilcloth factory, 329 N. 2nd; house 270 N. 4th.
