205 entries transcribed from Rita’s two handwritten sheets. Where research has established an identification, the current name appears first and the original family wording is kept beneath it. Where it has not, the family wording stands alone. Evidence filters separate three different questions: whether the building is identified, whether Kelly’s involvement is corroborated, and what masonry scope is documented.
