A.P. "Pat" Bolton Collection, 1936-1972 5 Linear Feet

Macasphalt

This collection spans the date range from 1936 – 1972. However, there are a few personal documents dating to 1854 and 1905. The primary scope of the collection pertains to Bolton's work in World War II and his work with the Daytona Speedway. There are a few ancillary projects in addition to these. There is little information about specific jobs between Bolton's work in WWII and his work on the Daytona Speedway. There is also very little information about specific jobs after the Daytona Speedway project ending in 1959. The lack of information on specific jobs after Bolton's work on the Daytona Speedway may be attributed to Bolton's efforts to divide the company up between his son-in-laws and his friends. There are extensive financial records of Macasphalt and some of the smaller companies The collection is located in shelving unit 10 and contains 15 file boxes, 1 large box and 1 flat file. Physical Description: 15 file boxes, 1 large box and 1 flat file
