Project
AP018.S1.1976.PR13
Description:
This project series documents the site development of an office building for J. Douglas Crashley in downtown Toronto from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7618. During this time, J. Douglas Crashley, a prominent Toronto entrepreneur, sought to develop an office building in downtown Toronto. The site was located at the corner of Front and York Streets, with the project consisting of a proposed eight storey office building with retail spaces and underground parking. This site development also proposed connections to nearby attractions such as the CN Tower, Union Station and Congress Centre. The project is often referred to as the Walker House Hotel, due to the fact that it was the building located on the property at this time. Three years earlier, in 1973, J.D. Crashley had commissioned a site investigation of various locations in downtown Toronto for his office building, including this site, which was completed under a different project number assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1973.PR13, also described in this fonds). The project is recorded through correspondence dating from 1977.

Description:
This project series documents an office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road in North York, Ontario from 1981-1982. The office identified the project number as 8107. This project consisted of a twelve storey office building, approximately 286,939 square feet in size. The design also included basement parking and a mechanical penthouse. This was to be a second office building to the one already located at that address. In 1976, Parkin Architects Planners began work on two phases of development for the property at 1500 Don Mills for their client Marathon Realty. Phase I consisted of an office building. This project, a second office building, was planned for Phase II, along with a parking structure. It is not clear from the materials in this project series whether the building was ever constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1981-1982. The drawings show site plans, typical floor plans and area calculations. The textual records consist of documents dealing with the rezoning of the property.

Description:
This project series documents the construction of the Victoria and Grey Trust Company office in Stratford, Ontario from 1981-1984. The office identified the project number as 8116. This project consisted of an office building and computer center to be the new head office of Victoria and Grey Trust Company. Originally, the building was proposed as an eleven-storey office tower, but eventually the design was scaled back to five storeys with a basement and penthouse. Once construction commenced, the building became even shorter and included a parking garage. The building was located at 60 Erie Street. This project documents only the construction of this office building; the design was completed under a different project number assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1980.PR14 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1981-1984. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. There are some original detail drawings arranged within the textual materials. Some drawings were produced by architecture firm Routhwaite and Fairfield. The photographic materials show the construction progress of the project. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference and site reports, authority and detail documentation, financial documents, supplementary instructions, change orders and specifications.
