- Description:
- This collection consists of photographic and architectural records and ledgers that document the work of the Reniger Construction Company of Lansing, Michigan. The records begin in 1916, when Orea "Orrie" Reniger moved his family and business to Lansing. By 1989 the company was run by the third generation of Renigers and it received centennial business recognition from the state of Michigan in that year. Eleven bound volumes of photographs documenting a number of construction projects in the Lansing area make up the majority of this collection. The photographs were taken by the R. C. Leavenworth photography studio on behalf of the Reniger company, and they show construction projects in various phases from demolition of old buildings on a new project's site to completion of new project. Most of the construction is commercial, and includes several of the area school buildings, but a few private homes are part of the materials. Some of the projects are for additions or renovations to existing structures. Some also include interior or aerial photographs. A job index binder lists most of these projects with relevant dates. There are several gaps in the library's holdings of photograph books. Architectural drawings and other records for several projects (mostly later-era) are included, as is a general company ledger that tracks expenses and income from 1947 to 1959. All photographs have been digitized, and are available for viewing in the Local History room. See the linked index and contact sheets. For more information or to access the photographs, contact the library.

- Description:
- This is a collection of approximately 1,350 "windshield tour" snapshots of older properties around the Lansing area, mostly residential, taken by David Caterino. Caterino was a local history collector and volunteer who likely took most of these photographs as a way to document things that might soon be torn down. The collection includes the demolition of the Michigan Theater. Caterino gave most images a number, though the numbers do not consistently correspond to an individual image, a negative strip, or an entire roll of film. These have been referred to in the catalog record as "Image no." with a number for each photograph. Sometimes the image number can be cross-referenced with a photo index Caterino created; if so, all information from the index is included here with each photo's description. In a few cases, the photograph is actually a duplication of another photo, but sources for these copies are not identified. The collection is divided up into 69 series by street name, or in some cases a specific building or other location.
