Scope and Contents

Series II documents Kreier's professional work from two periods: his precast and decorative concrete or plasticine mold work between 1955 and 1972, and his architectural restoration work for the University of Pennsylvania between 1989 and 1999. There is no documentation of his childhood, student work, or work from between 1973 and 1988.

Section A contains biographical files for George Kreier Jr., including a curriculum vitae, and two items likely inherited from George Kreier Sr: a product catalog from George Kreier Sr's sculpture company, and a sketchbook from the 1860's by fellow German immigrant and Philadelphia sculptor, Franz Meynen.

Section B contains two cubic feet of professional and project correspondence for precast and decorative concrete or plasticine mold work between 1955 and 1972. This section is arranged alphabetically by the architect for the project, or the company Kreier was contracted through, like Eastern Schokcrete. Thought these projects are mainly for architectural commissions, Kreier also did molded plastic work for amusement parks and decoration. A few of these projects are represented including the Lusse Brothers – Bumper cars, and the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.

Section C documents Kreier's historic conservation work for the University of Pennsylvania completed between 1989 and 1999. This work mainly compromises stone analysis, repair and infill for College Hall, Logan Hall, the Furness library steps and plaza and the Perelman Quadrangle. Also in this section are records related to a cast stone window repair at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia.
