Walker's Point Development Corporation Records, 1979-2001

Scope and Content Note

The Walker's Point Development Corporation (WPDC) records contain meeting minutes, correspondence, and financial statements, as well as clippings about the WPDC, background information about the Walker's Point neighborhood, and images (negatives, photographs, and slides) that show properties purchased and rehabbed by the WPDC. The collection also includes a video documentary about Walker's Point and a commercial about WPDC in Spanish.

The bulk of the collection consists of administrative files, particularly minutes and images. The Board of Directors meeting files include information and minutes of the WPDC's Economic Development Committee, Executive Committee, Housing Committee, Personnel Committee, and Programs Committee, in addition to materials for these committees found in separate folders.

Images in the collection mainly focus on residential properties before, during, and after rehab, though some commercial properties and general streetscape images are also found in the collection.
