Fuller (1851 – December 14, 1900) was an architect often credited as being the “inventor” of modern skyscrapers and the modern contracting system. After graduating from Andover College, he took a course in architecture at the Boston School of Technology and then started in the office of his uncle, J.E. Fuller, an architect in Worcester, Massachusetts. Fuller soon entered the office of Peabody & Stearns – a firm which specialized in building mansions for the rich in Newport, Rhode Island – where he soon developed a strong interest in the details of erecting a building, and was particularly interested in “skyscrapers”, the name recently given to the tall buildings than had been made possible by Elisha Otis’ invention of the safety elevator. Through Fuller’s hard work and diligence, at the age of twenty-five he was made a partner and placed in charge of Peabody & Stearn’s New York office. Fuller moved to Chicago, the locus of much of the skyscraper construction in the United States at the time, he then raised $50,000 and set up the George A. Fuller Company in 1882. Fuller’s new firm was different from the many architecture firms of the time, in that it intended to handle all aspects of building construction except for the design of the building, which would come from outside architects. In this way, Fuller created the modern concept of the general contractor. After Fuller’s death in 1900, Harry S. Black, Fuller’s son-in-law, took over as president of the Fuller Company and aggressively expanded its capitalization and operations, merging it with smaller companies. ���������������������������������������������������� Est. $120-240 SCRIPOPHILY - FOOD & DRINKS Delaware 586 586 McDonald’s Corp., ca.1960-70’s Proof Stock Certificate Rarity Delaware, ND (1950-70s). <100,000 Shares Proof Stock Certificate on brown paper, Black text with blue border at top and underprint, Allegorical McDonald’s employees with food items in background at left.
