Scope and Content Note
This series contains records of repairs and other work done on government buildings. By the 1797 law appointing a state comptroller, state officials and agencies were to account to the comptroller for any state money they spent, and to make compensation for money they owed to the state.
The series consists of records of repairs to the governor's office and house; repairs to the secretary of state's office and house; receipts, payments, rent, and repairs regarding the Government House; and work on the Assembly Chamber, Exchange, Executive Chamber, state offices, and other state facilities. The records contain accounts, contracts, vouchers, and audits.
