The Barry Downs fonds contains 6 drawings and 8 presentation panels for a total of 11 projects conceived between 1956 and 1968. This period coincided with Down's position as design architect for Thompson, Berwick, Pratt & Partners, and his subsequent partnership with Fred Thornton Hollingsworth. The documents, particularly the drawings, reveal the considerable skill Downs possessed as both a draughtsman and a designer.
