The subfonds consists primarily drawings ranging in date from Nobbs' early student projects and competition drawings, to designs for McGill University buildings such as the McGill University Union Building and MacDonald Engineering Building, and designs for domestic and ecclesiastical architecture in Montreal (1897-1957). Non-architectural drawings (1898-1957) include studies of ironwork, a drawing of Rouen in France, designs for the Royal Arms of Canada, a letterhead for the R.C.A.F., a war memorial for the Town of Mount Royal, a medallion for the Shawinigan Water and Power Company and a silver dollar for the Royal Canadian Mint.

Dessins allant des projets d'étudiant et des dessins de concours de Nobbs jusqu'aux plans réalisés pour le compte de l'Université McGill comme l'édifice University Union et le pavillon MacDonald de génie ainsi que des plans d'immeubles à vocation résidentielle ou ecclésiastique à Montréal.
"Autres dessins, 1898-1957, 149 dessins".
