A 19th‑century California legislative appendix presents the record of a major state building investigation.

This volume compiles the proceedings, testimonies, and committee conclusions surrounding the construction of a State Normal School building, including decisions by the Board of Trustees, the architect’s involvement, and how costs were managed as the project progressed.

What you’ll find in this volume:

A detailed account of the investigation, the conclusions drawn, and the possibility of further inquiry into specific individuals’ roles.
Transcripts from interviews and testimony about planning, modifications, and the handling of contracts, with focus on cost overruns and governance.
Related legal and administrative materials tied to public works and county claims, offering a window into 19th‑century state and local budgeting processes.
Context for how public buildings were planned, executed, and scrutinized, including references to approvals, exhibitions, and the interaction between architects, contractors, and officials.

You’ll gain:

Insight into how a major public project was overseen, adjusted, and defended in a formal, state‑level setting.
A view of the language and procedures used in official investigations and commissions of that era.
A sense of the challenges of balancing ambition, budget, and accountability in state construction.

Ideal for readers of historical government documents, archival research, and California history enthusiasts seeking a concrete look at how public works were managed and reviewed in the nineteenth century.
