comment found this reference to him but, not sure how significant it is. Unfortunately, as the article stands now it doesn't seem to meet notability criteria and I've got to say delete unless substantial improvements are made. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:BIO, somewhat grandiose rewrite of his life ("industrial contractor" sounds better than "stonemason", I guess). McGill has only this to say of him. There is no assertion of his significance to any of these projects that I can tell, though I'm sure having his ledgers on file is elucidatory for historians of the era. --Dhartung | Talk 12:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete in the absence of sources. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
