Scope and Content

This series documents nine projects by the firm Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architects. The practice was opened in partnership by Bernard Rosen, Irving Caruso and André Vecsei. The latter was partner until his departure in 1984 when he founded Vecsei Architects with Eva Hollo Vecsei. During his time at Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architect, André was the partner in charge of several projects including: Twenty-five story apartment building, Lincoln Avenue and St. Mathieu Street, Montréal, Québec (circa 1962-1974); Nursing home, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Senoir’s home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Intermunicipal library, Pierrefonds, Montréal, Québec (circa 1980-1984). Eva Hollo Vecsei did not work for the firm Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architects.

This series documents the following projects: Golf clubhouse, Mirabel, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Fraternity house, Montréal, Québec (circa 1964); Marina, Expo 67, Montréal, Québec (1965-1966); Engineering Institute of Canada, Montréal, Québec (circa 1967); International Civil Aviation Organisation building, Montréal, Québec (circa 1974); Seniors home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Fort de la Montagne, Westmount, Québec (circa 1980-1982); and City hall and municipal library, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1981-1984). Also included are sketches from 1962 to 1984 for an unidentified project.

Collection material in this series was produced between 1974 and 2006. Documenting the series are architectural records, such as conceptual, design, presentation, and working drawings, as well as photographs, digital material (mainly photographs), and a sketchbook.

The bulk of the material was produced between 1981 and 1984, which corresponds to the period during which André Vecsei worked on the city hall and municipal library, in Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec. Documenting this project are working drawings and a few digitized sketches and photographs.
