Description:
This project series documents a proposal for renovations and additions to 347 and 372 Bay Street in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9004. The majority of materials in this project series focus on renovations and additions to 347 Bay Street, which was built in 1926 by Chapman & Oxley and known as the National Building. The building was to have retail, restaurant and lobby space on the ground floor, and open floor layouts on the remaining floors to rent to tenants. Some sketches for 372 Bay Street are also included. The project is recorded through drawings and a presentation painting dating from 1990. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometric drawings.
