http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55047405

The collection consists of a single 60 minute audiocassette tape of Chris Wilson interviewing William Leverett, Jr. The interview lasts less than 30 minutes. It focuses on the development of Nob Hill's Monte Vista subdivision, and to a much lesser extent, University Heights. The interview not only provides insight into the development of these particular neighborhoods, but Leverett also speaks about general construction and development issues in Albuquerque during this time period, the mortgage process, and particular builders. The interview focuses primarily on the mid-1920's to the mid-1930s.
