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.
