“Travelers Financial Center, Hempstead — 1984”
CCA dates the executed Travelers Financial Center project to 1983–86, perfectly matching Joseph's 1984 entry.
One of the architecturally strangest projects on the list — and the CCA holds an unusually deep archive of drawings.
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.
