Kenneth Allen subject files circa 1895 to 1930
Description
The accession consists of correspondence, reports, printed, plans, and blueprints. Kenneth Allen was a sanitary engineer who worked for the City of Baltimore in the mid-1890s. In circa 1906, he began working for the City of New York for an entity known as the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission (1906-1929 and later the Department of Sanitation), which had responsibilities for developing a citywide sewer system in collaboration with the Department of Public Works (later the Department of Plants and Structures), and the Borough-level Department of Public Works. Much of the material is technical in nature. There are extensive reports on topics of sanitary engineering relevant to New York City, and on the evolving state of the City's sewer system, written by Allen and others. By the mid-1920s Allen was a consulting engineer for sewer projects originating from the Board of Estimate. Arranged alphabetically.
