Garber, Isaac Calvin (b.1871 - d.1946)

Builder/Contractor, Jackson, MS

Born in Jonesboro, TN, he began working as a carpenter at the age of 13. He worked for 10 years with the Knoxville Construction Co. in TN, a large company with a regional focus. By 1899, he was in Meridian, perhaps supervising a project, where he married Ida Barron. They eventually had four children. He moved to Jackson in 1902, and became a dominant contractor within a few years, aided by his association (perhaps through his TN connections) with R.H. Hunt. In addition to his many large public and commercial buildings, he was also credited with building hundreds of houses. He bid on the MS Centennial Exposition project in Gulfport, but was not awarded contract. He had offices in the Medical Building in 1927 and 1935, but with an interlude at the Standard Life Building when associated with A.L. Dickson as GARBER & DICKSON. By 1935, his firm was named I.C. GARBER & SON, and he retired in 1938. He died in Jackson in 1946. see also MCGEE & GARBER. See Rowland, Dunbar, _History of Mississippi: The Heart of the South_ Vol IV, pp. 432-433.
