Scope and Content

This project series documents the design of interiors for the Eaton's of Canada Limited executive offices at 1 Dundas Street West in Toronto from 1974-1976. The office identified the project number as 7431.

This project consisted of the office interiors for the 17th and 18th floors of a high-rise building located directly above the Eaton's flagship store, which was attached to the Eaton's Centre mall. The high-rise, its interiors, the Eaton's store and the mall were all constructed simultaneously, with Parkin Architects Planners working on the Eaton's store and office interiors, while architecture firm Craig Zeidler Strong worked on the Eaton's Centre mall and high-rise office building.

The project is recorded through drawings, most of which are reprographic copies, photographs and textual records dating from 1975-1976. Arranged within the drawings are some drawings produced for the high-rise building by Craig Zeidler Strong. The textual records contain meeting minutes, specifications, construction documentation and project notebooks. The photographs show the office interiors of various Eaton's executives.
