The Jerry Miller Fonds is comprised of architectural drawings for the Churchill Falls Townsite in central Labrador, the restoration and conversion of several historic buildings in Montreal, a coast guard complex in Sorel, a residence for La Communauté des Soeurs de Charité de la Providence in Boucherville and the Canadian Embassy in Paris.

The design and construction of the new town of Churchill Falls was a $25 million project which included housing for 1500 permanent inhabitants grouped around a multi-use town centre comprising a school, hotel, commercial centre, gym, swimming pool, and other recreational facilities, all organized around a skylit interior concourse.

Construction of the permanent all-electrical community especially designed for northern living began in 1968. The new community marked a milestone in the ability of Canadians to adapt to northern conditions. It housed the permanent operating and maintenance staff of the huge Churchill Falls hydro-electric power development which was under construction a mile east of the townsite.

Adjoining a temporary trailer town for the families of construction personnel and the main construction camp for the hydro development, the town centre was built to serve the families in the temporary town and to supplement facilities in the main construction camp, as well as to serve the first permanent residents. The permanent and the temporary facilites were to function together as one community during the hydro project's construction. When the Churchill Falls development was completed, the temporary town and the construction camp remained as service areas into which the permanent community of more than 1000 residents grew in accordance with an overall master plan.

The availability of abundant and reliable hydro power offered unusual opportunities in planning the new community. Electricity was used for everything from keeping water mains from freezing to climate control of the town centre and heating of all dwellings.

Experience had shown that people living in relatively small, isolated centres who are in daily contact at work, want and need privacy in their homes. The Churchill Falls facilities were planned to bring residents together where community activity is concerned but to respect the need for domestic privacy. Great attention was also paid to accoustical details in the houses because of the effects of this noiseless environment. The notion of residents moving out-of-doors from home to town centre facilities was thought to reduce the senses of isolation and confinement.

Housing is divided between the multiple unit dwellings south of the town centre and single houses north of it. Five models of single family dwellings were built in the first year. A competition was held for the design of executive houses. Apartment buildings are two storeys with a basement. Garages are housed in separate structures as close to the street as possible to reduce snow shovelling.

Although the community was compact enough for residents to walk everywhere, planners acknowledged that the automobile was an essential accessory to most people so they provided for its use at Churchill Falls.

Open spaces were left every few houses for public play areas and as access ways between blocks from one street to the next. Lots are about 50 feet wide and running 130 to 140 feet deep to the next street.

The plans for the new community were originally prepared by Fiset Deschamps, architects and townplanners of Montreal and Quebec, in association with Beauchemin Beaton Lapointe, consulting engineers of Montreal, and Gorman Butler Associates Ltd., consulting engineers and architects of St. John's.
