Historical/biog note:
Walter Richard Wheeler III was born in Albany in 1964. Raised in southern Rensselaer County, Mr. Wheeler moved to Troy, NY in the autumn of 1982 to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and received two degrees from the architectural program there. He began his professional career with a position at the Office of the State Architect in Albany previous to graduating, and later worked with Wagoner & Reynolds Architects (the former office of Marcus T. Reynolds). Since 1999 he has served as Senior Architectural Historian at Hartgen Archeological Associates, in Rensselaer, NY.
Review:
The trade catalogs in this collection were published between 1850-2016. The catalogs' subjects run the gamut, though some industries are better represented than others. Hardware, plumbing, heating and agricultural equipment are best represented overall. Most of the catalogs come from businesses which were/are in New York's Capital Region, thus providing a snapshot of commerce in Upstate New York.
