Scope and Content
This project series documents an addition made to the press hall of the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto in 1979. The office identified the project number as 7907.
From 1973-1975, Parkin Architects Planners designed and constructed the Toronto Sun press plant and office building at 333 King Street East. This project consisted of adding 7 new presses to press line no. 2 in that building, which in turn required construction of a new mezzanine at the perimeter of the presses.
The drawings consist largely of reprographic copies of details and floor plans. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, site reports, financial records, supplementary instructions, change orders and interoffice letters.
Materials in this project series have been kept in their original order and/or arranged by material type.
