Company Description:
Walsh Brothers, Incorporated was founded in 1901 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by brothers James and Thomas Walsh, grandfather and granduncle of the Company//s current president, James H. Walsh III. Guided by their founding principles of offering the highest quality work and exceptional client service, the brothers started a modest general contracting business that would grow over the next century to become an industry leader. In the early decades of the 1900s, Walsh Brothers participated in all forms of building construction including residential, commercial, government, ecclesiastical, and institutional. Believing no job was too small or too large, the Company constructed homes, apartments, schools, police headquarters, and fire stations; operating out of a small house and barn on Hampshire Street in Cambridge. The Company provided a livelihood for many new immigrant craftsmen, many of whom formed the first of many generations that would work for Walsh Brothers. In the 1920s and 1930s, Walsh Brothers established its reputation as one of the region//s preeminent ecclesiastical general contractors. The Company built churches and schools throughout New England and New York. Some of the larger, more recognizable projects during this period included the Cardinal//s residence for the Archdiocese of Boston and Bapst Library and Devlin Hall on Boston College//s new Chestnut Hill campus. During the 1940s, the company was very active in war-related construction, participating in major projects at the Hingham and Fore River Shipyards in Massachusetts, Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Rhode Island, and a number of harbor and coastal defense facilities. After the Second World War, Walsh Brothers returned to its ecclesiastical roots. During the late 1940s and 1950s, the Company continued to build churches, rectories, convents, seminaries, monasteries, and high schools throughout the region. The culmination of this period was the construction of St. Mary//s Cathedral in Ogdensburg, New York. Since the Middle Ages, the highest form of achievement of any builder was to construct a cathedral and earn the title of Master Builder." Thus
