DR1982:0096:001-016
Description:
- The Stowe engravings illustrate a garden design of the so-called Transitional Phase in English landscape history. While containing many formal elements typical of the 17th century -- such as parterres, avenues of clipped trees and hedges, fountains and straight-sided canals -- Stowe, as depicted in these engravings, also incorporates many garden buildings and, most importantly, ha-has that are characteristic of the 18th-century English landscape garden. - The marbled and leather-edged portfolio in which the prints were acquired is stored separately in a solander box (size IV).

George Rohault de Fleury
CI001.S3
Description:
The CCA's Rohault de Fleury collection includes two of Georges' historical and archeological studies of medieval Italian architecture: 'Les Monuments de Pise au Moyen', 1866 (DR1974:028:001:066) and 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres sur L' Architecture Civile et Militaire en 1400' 2 vols.,1874 (DR1974:0002:039 and DR1974:0002:040). 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' is an atlas consisting solely of 66 prints of Pisan architecture, sculpture, and painting. The section on architecture is the largest, and is divided into three sections for the Lombard, Roman, and Gothic periods. The accompanying text, and an identical atlas of prints, is located in the CCA library. 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...' is a history of Tuscan civil and military architecture to 1400. The text is in the form of a fictitious correspondence between Raimond du Temple, a famous architect of the Louvre under Charles V, and his son Charles who is traveling through Tuscany. The text is accompanied by photomechanical illustrations, mostly sketches of scenes from bas-reliefs and manuscripts, and a few of built structures. The CCA library has two sets of a related publication entitled 'La Toscane au Moyen Age architecture civile et militaire' 2 vols. These earlier and larger publications are probably the source for some of the text and plates of 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...'. The introductory remarks, to 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres..' and to the text (CCA library) of the 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' are particularly informative as they provide an insight into Georges Rohault de Fleury's interpretation of historical periods of artistic renewal, decline, and decadence, and their didactic relationship to contemporary architectural and religious concerns.

Projet
AP018.S1.1974.PR17
Description:
This project series documents renovations to the Minaki Lodge in Minaki, Ontario from 1974-1977. The office identified the project number as 7422. The Minaki Lodge, owned by the Government of Ontario at the time of this project, was located on the banks of the Winnipeg River and was originally built in 1914 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The site included an X-shaped main lodge, a motor lodge and power house, a ski chalet and Holst Point on a nearby island. This project, which was phase I of the work, consisted of renovations to the main lodge including a complete reimagining of the interior layouts and the addition of a new convention hall and approximately 200 new guest rooms. This project mainly consisted of work on the interior layouts, while work for the additions continued under a new project number assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR18 in this fonds). Drawings in this project series include drawings of the building before this project, at several points in its history. Originals and reprographic copies from 1945 were prepared by architect John Schofield for the Canadian National Railways. Reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1925-1930 were prepared by the Canadian National Railways. Reprographic copies from 1972 were prepared by architect Jack M. Ross. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating primarily from 1974-1977. There are originals of drawings from 1925-1926 prepared by the Canadian National Railways for a different project. The photographs show the building before this project commenced. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, interoffice letters, consultancy files, zoning documentation, financial records, tender documents, change orders, design notes, specifications and supplementary instructions.
