What Kelly did here
Family source
Strong
Most likely CMU/back-up, partitions, service walls and institutional-building masonry within the Rose Building/base/dormitory components; the dark condominium tower envelope should not be assigned to Kelly absent trade records.
This scope is recorded as strong, 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.
