As written

“Power House — 1954”

Adler & Neilson’s archive lists 'Power House, Grahamsville, NY' in 1954—the exact year on Joseph’s list.

Another subcontractor’s surviving drawings may turn one of the vaguest handwritten entries into a specific piece of Catskills infrastructure.

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: most likely heavy-duty CMU/concrete-block enclosure and equipment-room walls, interior partitions, shafts and masonry backup; specialized refractory/stone work should not be assumed without specifications.

This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
