“East Fishkill — Undated”
MIT preserves 1963 architectural photographs of Paul Rudolph's IBM East Fishkill building — period imagery from the campus's early semiconductor years.
If confirmed, this would connect Joseph's masonry career to the physical infrastructure behind IBM's early semiconductor revolution.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Probable
Likely: most likely interior CMU/block shafts, service cores, fire-rated partitions and masonry backup; exterior brickwork is likely only if the project-specific facade was brick rather than stone, precast, metal or glass.
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.
