Papers of John S. Archibald and Associates

The Archibald papers in the Canadian Architecture Collection constitute only a very small portion of the architects' professional and/or personal records, since the office records and the private correspondence of John S. Archibald and his associates are not represented in their entirety. The papers, given to the archive by Hugh Percival (Peter) Illsley, consist primarily of photographic reproductions and postcards of buildings in Europe. Also included with this original material is related information gathered over the years by John Bland dealing with different aspects of John S. Archibald and Charles J. Saxe's professional activities.

Alteration to Engineers' Club

Includes 10 plans (8 elevations; 2 sections), 16 detail drawings (ladies' dining room, billiard room, corridors, dining room, entrance hall and vestibule, writing room, ladies' reception room, private dining room, ladies' stair, staircase, panels for billiard markers), and 13 consultant drawings (heating and ventilation, food preparation and storage). The house was originally constructed in 1860-1862 for brewer William Dow and is attributed to William T. Thomas. It was purchased by the club around 1907 and was added to in 1911-1912 and again in 1933. The Canadian Domestic Engineering Co. Limited produced the 13 consultant drawings dated March 1911-December 1912.
