United States of America -- New Jersey -- Morris County -- Mendham
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and copies of articles.
General:
The property served as a country retreat for the Governor of New Jersey. The working part of the farm was never visable to the main house, as the house was situated high on a hill and away from the rest of the property. An inventor of an early instant coffee process, George Constant Louis Washington bought the farm of 79 acres in 1927 where he kept a menagerie of animals. Washington sold the property in 1943 when he retired. Chartwell Manor School bought the property in the early 1970s and may have closed this location in the early 1980s. As of 2006, the property was in disrepair.
Persons and firms associated with the property include: Franklin Murphy (former owner, 1900?-1920); George Constant Louis Washington (former owner, 1927); Chartwell Manor School (former owner, 1970s-1980s?); and Olmsted Brothers (landscape architect)

Most material in this collection was generated by Trigg early in his career as an industrial research fellow at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, 1916-1920. It includes laboratory notebooks; formal weekly reports (typewritten) on his investigations; correspondence with his industrial sponsors; a few personal letters and some correspondence relating to his interest in coffee processing; his patents and correspondence relating to them; clippings and reprints of technical articles on tea and coffee processing and culture, 1883-1963; U.S. patents relating to these subjects, 1834-1921; foreign patents--British, French and German--1855-1918. Pamphlets contain technical articles on coffee and related subjects, including U.S. Department of Agriculture and Canadian government publications. Trigg's personal file of more than 5000 4" x 6" cards (mainly hand-written, arranged chronologically) reflect his extensive reading of technical literature; they contain bibliographical data and Trigg's brief abstractions.
