Fall ing Off in Building in New England 1919
The 1919 New England building industry remained below prewar levels, with output only about four-fifths of the 1901–1914 average. Despite some improvement from 1918, total value failed to match the long-term average, and many builders faced unemployment. The Dodge and Boston Master Builders report notes the sector would have needed 262 million dollars in 1919 to reach the prior era’s average.
