HENRY P. GREEN
A thoroughly wide-awake experienced
contractor, whose ambition, never lost sight of, to render only dependable
service, has led his many patrons never to lose sight of him, is Henry P.
Green, the junior member of the enterprising firm of Daniels & Green, of
705 Yosemite Street, Commercial and Savings Bank Building, Stockton. He was born at Volcano, California, April 29,
1881, a son of John Green, a native of Ireland, who came to California in early
days by way of Cape Horn, and was a miner in Amador County. When six months old, Henry was brought by his
parents to Stockton, and at St. Mary’s College, in this city, he was educated.
Growing up, our subject learned the
carpenter’s trade with Thomas D. Lewis, and some twelve years ago he formed a
partnership with Wesley Daniels, under the firm name of Daniels and Green. They organized to do general contracting, and
in this field they have been extremely successful. They have specialized in heavy construction
work, and hence it has fallen to their lot to put up some of the finest
structures in Stockton. These include an
office building for the California Navigation & Improvement Company, the
remodeled Washington and Johnson schools, the North, Weber and Hazelton
schools, the Lincoln and Taft hotels, the two-story brick block for the City
Development Company, the remodeled interior of the Commercial and Savings Bank,
and the City Bank. They also built the
annex to the Smith & Lang Block, the Botto and Brassesco Block, the Marshall Building, and Oneto and Campodonico Block, the
Flannigan Block, the St. Agnes Convent, the Stockton Dry Goods Company’s Block,
the Pacific State Telegraph and Telephone Building, the Meyers Meat Market
Block, and the fine residence for F. J. Viebrock.
At Stockton, in the year 1903, Mr.
Green was married to Miss Dora Siefert, a member of a
well-known pioneer family of Stockton; and they have two children, Vera and
Dorothy. Mr. Green is a member of the
Stockton Elks, No. 218, the Knights of Columbus, Stockton Court No. 5, Y. M.
I., and Parlor No. 7 of the Native Sons of the Golden West.
