Project
AP018.S1.1953.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the residence of John C. Parkin and his family in North York, Ontario from 1953-1955. The office identified the project number as 5301. This project consisted of the architect's own family home for himself, his wife, and their children at 75 The Bridle Path. The one-storey bungalow, faced in white brick, became an acclaimed symbol of a modernist dwelling in North America. The house has since been demolished. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1948-1957. The drawings include sketches of furniture designed by Parkin, as well as floor plans, sections, details, elevations and construction drawings. The textual records include tender documentation, estimates and building restrictions.

Project
CI005.S1.1931.PR1
Description:
Oud's international reputation was cemented due in part to his work on the Weissenhofsiedlung, in Stuttgart, as well as to the praise of contemporary American art historian, Henry-Russell Hitchcock. Oud was commissioned in 1931 to design a private home for the mother of Oud's American friend, Philip Johnson, although the project was never realized due to the client's financial struggles in the economic Depression. Oud submitted drawings and a model of the design for Mrs H.H. Johnson's home to the Museum of Modern Art's 1932 "Modern Architecture – International Exhibition." Although Oud was generally praised for his exhibition entries, especially photographs of Hoek van Holland, he received little positive attention with his model submission of the House of Mrs H.H. Johnson. Oud began design for the house late in 1931 and designed a large villa with an open, spacious living room and dining room, strategic garden views, and a detached sunroom with a retractable roof (Taverne et al. 2001, 320). Project series includes photographs of the model of House for Mrs H.H. Johnson, as well as drawings of plans for the house.

Residence of Mr. & Mrs. J.C. Parkin, Alterations and Additions, North York, Ontario (1959-1962)
AP018.S1.1959.PR01
Description:
This project series documents alterations and additions to the residence of John C. Parkin and his family in North York, Ontario from 1959-1962. The office identified the project number as 5933. The architect's family home, designed by him a few years earlier, was a one-storey, white brick faced bungalow located at 75 The Bridle Path. The home eventually became an acclaimed symbol of a modern dwelling in North America. This project consisted of alterations to the existing house, as well as additions to enlarge the home. The house included a pool and gardens, bedrooms for his children, a study, and maid's quarters, among other rooms. The house has since been demolished. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1955-1977. The majority of drawings are originals, which include plans, elevations, and some construction drawings. The textual materials consist of correspondence, construction documentation, variation orders, contract data, tender proposals, and specifications.
