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).
