Projet
AP018.S1.1964.PR04
Description:
This project series documents an office tower and additions to the Simpson's store at 401 Bay Street in Toronto from 1964-1968. The office identified the project number as 6408. This project consisted of a 585,000 square foot building with 9 low-rise levels and 23 high-rise office floors. The low-rise exteriors were visually separated from the office tower by their larger square footage and different façades. The lower exteriors were characterized by light amber metal panels and display windows of glass with stainless steel frames at the shopping levels. The building is wrapped from the ground to the top in concrete columns. The building contained the Simpson's store, barber shop, banking mezzanine, cafeteria, restaurant and cocktail lounge and headquarters office spaces. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings and a presentation board of a photograph dating from 1966-1968. The drawings are a set of construction plans, sections, details, elevations, project graphics, layouts, and schedules.

DR1982:0125 R:001-007
Description:
- The five drawings show alternative designs for a long, low building, mostly classical in style with a central portico, often with other details such as a campanile, a fountain, and a large staircase in front of the entrance. The print DR1982:0125 R:002 depicts a crowd of people burning objects before a two-story building with giant pilasters surmounted by freestanding sculptures and a balustrade, while the print DR1982:0125 R:007 depicts a statue of Cupid by A. Thorwaldsen.

DR1981:0029
Description:
This drawing shows a three-story, centrally planned palace. The entry portal at center features paired columns flanking niches with allegorical figures. Above them are empty escutcheons. On the walls on either side of the portal are two larger allegorical sculptural groups. A courtyard separates the entry portal from the palace, which Blondel indicates with an overall gray wash. The ground floor is mostly obscured by the gate, however it includes rectangular windows visible between the gate’s columns. The first level has large, un-mullioned windows which are not completely geometric but have a soft bow at the top. These are interspersed with Corinthian pilasters on either side of a central pavilion. This pavilion projects slightly and includes pairs of Corinthian columns at the corners. Three rounded windows are centered above the portal and atop these is a large triangular pediment with an indistinct sculptural scene roughly sketched at its center. Above the pediment are two reclining allegorical figures supporting a large escutcheon. An attic story includes Corinthian pilasters and two figures at either corner. Two square, un-mullioned windows are visible on either side of the central sculptural group. Perpendicular to the central mass are two wings that signal the palace’s U-shaped plan. These wings appear to follow the orders of the main facade and both levels feature rounded windows with low balustrades. At the top of the flat roof on either side are four pairs of allegorical and mythological figures. Projecting laterally from the main building are two single-story buildings that are likely entrances to the basse-cour (outer courtyard). These out buildings are distinguished from the palace through their rustication. Their portals have triangular pediments with empty escutcheons and lions on either side.
