Description:
This project series documents the Ontario Congress and Trade Centre in Toronto from 1978-1980. The office identified the project number as 7807. This project consisted of the investigation of building a congress and trade centre on Front Street West. The project proposed a 519,500 square foot building with a 200,000 square foot exhibition hall that could be divided for smaller events. The building would also contain a multiuse hall, theatres, meeting rooms, offices, food and beverage facilities, and a 1300 car parking area. The project was proposed to cost around $73 million. The project is also referred to as the Toronto Convention Centre or Ontario Convention Centre. The majority of the textual documentation shows the controversial debate over whether the centre should be built, including numerous press clippings that highlight the issue. It should be noted that Congress Centre and Convention Centre are used interchangeably in the materials. Eventually, this project contract was given to another architectural firm and today is known as the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1981. The drawings largely show designs for the proposed building and site plans. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes, interoffice memos, project proposals, feasibility reports, press clippings on the project and on other convention centres, research documentation on other convention centres, documentation on a proposed hotel to be built on the centre and promotional materials.

Description:
This project series documents the design of a condominium complex in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec from 1974-1976. The office identified the project number as 7426. This project consisted of a proposed condominium complex, composed of multiple low-rise buildings, with approximately 40-54 units located on Senneville Road next to the Lake of Two Mountains. Many schemes were considered for this project, including one with a series of modular buildings on a diagonal grid, and another with a perimeter of modular buildings with a courtyard in the middle. Despite the scheme, these condo buildings were always low-rise, with a few units per building. This may have been due to the fact that the lot was zoned for single dwelling, townhouse, duplex or triplex homes with a maximum of three storeys. There were also several schemes for the parking, such as a parking garage, individual driveways, or parking underground each unit. This project, commissioned by TransAtlantic Consultants Limited in Montreal, changed many times as budgets were reduced over the years. In the end, it seems the project was never constructed. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1974-1976. Most of the drawings are original design drawings of plans, sections, elevations and an isometric, with some reprographic copies arranged within the textual materials. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice memos, survey and site data, local by-laws, construction documentations, cost estimates and research. There is an index to the textual records, created by the office, located before file AP018.S1.1974.PR20.007.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the residence of A.W. Billes and his family at 30 High Point Road in North York, Toronto from 1973-1975. The office identified the project number as 7302. This project consisted of a ten bedroom home for Toronto businessman Alfred W. Billes, who was part of the Canadian Tire founding family and part owner at this time. The extravagant home included tennis courts, a pool, an indoor atrium with gardens, staff quarters, a library, and a piano room, among others. Built in the Bridle Path neighbourhood, the home was designed in the modernist style with two terraced balconies facing the street. Following the completion of the project, A.W. Billes sued the firm of Parkin Partnership Architects Planners over dissatisfaction with the construction, a case that was appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Parkin lost the case in 1984 and had to pay A.W. Billes approximately $125,000. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, slides, a project painting, and textual records dating from 1973-1984. The drawings are a mix of original sketches and construction drawings. The photographs and slides show the completed project. The textual records include construction documentation, design notes, interoffice memos, correspondence, meeting and site reports, extensive lawsuit documentation, contract data, a project manual for the homeowners and consultancy records. Some of the drawings and textual records are labelled Part 7', but it is unclear from the documentation what this refers to. There are a large number of construction drawings, some sketches, and detail drawings arranged within the textual materials.

The photographs and slides show the completed project. The textual records include construction documentation, design notes, interoffice memos, correspondence, meeting and site reports, extensive lawsuit documentation, contract data, a project manual for the homeowners and consultancy records. Some of the drawings and textual records are labelled Part 7', but it is unclear from the documentation what this refers to. There are a large number of construction drawings, some sketches, and detail drawings arranged within the textual materials.

Description:
- This drawing is part of a group of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, from the office of John Loughborough Pearson, composed of nine orthographic contract drawings dated 1867-1868 (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:009) and one elevation for an addition in 1878 (DR1989:0015:010). These drawings were sold at auction by St. Peter's Convent, Woking, along with drawings for that institution (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:089 R/V). Both institutions were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and the lay nursing order which ran it. Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882, and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255 and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
