George P. Laming
Practical carpenter and builder, 103 Clifton Street, Roxbury
For many years, George P. Laming, the carpenter and builder, of No. 103 Clifton street, Roxbury, has been recognized as one of the leading men in that department of industry in the district. He opened his shop in Roxbury twenty years ago and has occupied his present premises for the last eight years. His shop is commodious and is fully equipped with wood working machinery for doing all kinds of work required. He gives employment to a large force of skilled workmen, the number of whom varies, necessarily, according to the contract to be executed. Mr. Laming makes a specialty of jobbing work, which he does skillfully and promptly. Most of Mr. Lansing’s patrons come from Dorchester and Roxbury, although he is sometimes called out of those districts to undertake contracts. Many notable examples of Mr. Lansing’s construction work are to be seen hereabouts in the form of dwelling houses and other buildings, and all are models of architecture and constructive skill. He enjoys a reputation for living up to the very letter of his agreements, never slighting or neglecting even the most minute detail of his work and carefully supervising the operations of his workmen while the work is going on toward completion.
Mr. Laming was born in Boston and was educated in the city’s schools. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and of the Odd Fellows and is now a man in middle life. He is highly
thought of in Roxbury, and is known as a man of the strictest integrity and of the keenest sense of business honor. As a private citizen, his character is without reproach.
