History
Mr. Conrad P. Ward began his career as a mason working beside his father for the Rochester Railway and Light Company in Rochester New York at the turn of the century.
In 1913, he decided to go out on his own and started contracting masonry work from his former employer. The C.P. Ward Company grew quickly, and was incorporated in 1924, when Mr. Ward sold his assets to the corporation “including his horse and wagons”.
