Building and Loan Associations

By Carroll Davidson Wright

Building and Loan Associations, originally published in 1894, provides a detailed examination of the history, operation, and societal impact of these early financial institutions in the United States. Authored by Carroll Davidson Wright and the United States Bureau of Labor, this study offers invaluable insights into the role of building and loan associations in promoting homeownership and fostering community development during the late 19th century.

The book meticulously outlines the structure and functions of these associations, exploring their methods of raising capital, managing loans, and ensuring financial stability. It also delves into the demographics of borrowers and the broader economic conditions that influenced the growth and popularity of these institutions. This historical analysis sheds light on the origins of modern mortgage practices and the evolution of the American financial landscape.
