Title	Facilities of the Perkins Gravel Company, a Subsidiary of A. Teichert and Sons
Date	1941
Description	This photograph, capturing the operations of the Perkins Gravel Company, located at 1846 Thirty-Seventh Street, was taken on October 27, 1941. Ready-mixed concrete, crushed rock, road rock, sand and gravel formed the purview of the company, a subsidiary of one of Sacramento’s longest standing paving and construction entities, A. Teichert and Sons. Teichert was started in 1887, at Twenty-Fourth and J Street, by Adolph Teichert, a native of Hamburg, Germany. In addition to paving a number of roads and sidewalks throughout the City and County of Sacramento, marquee projects included portions of the Shasta Dam, several defense projects at Mather and McClellen Fields during the First and Second World War, and runways at the Sutterville Aerodrome, later to be renamed as the Sacramento Executive Airport.
