"Norfolk Lodge", 5789 Brookhill Road, Saanich, B.C.
Item is an architectural drawing by Samuel Maclure prepared for H.C. Oldfield of Saanich, B.C.
The blueprint (AP1369, undated) shows floorplans of the original house, which is altered according to the next drawing (AP1370, dated Apr. 1911). The latter shows plans, elevations and details. These are followed by a sketches and drawings (AP1371-AP1379, AP2148, dated Oct. 1913 Jan. 1914) for what are evidently three proposals for houses. The last consist of plans, elevations and details. The original house, as altered, has a basement and two floors. The ground floor comprises a hall, living room, conservatory, dining room, kitchen, pantry, larder and lavatory. The second floor consists of five bedrooms, a bathroom and two balconies. The first floor is finished in shiplap and the second in shiplap and half timbering. The second of the three later proposals (AP1372-AP1372), for which only elevations remain, is a one-storey structure with a basement. The walls are faced in stone and half timbering, and leaded glass windows are called for throughout The third proposal is for a one-storey house with a basement and probably an attic. The basement includes a water closet and laundry area. The ground floor comprises a hall, living room, veranda, dining room, kitchen, pantry, two bedrooms and bathroom. It is finished in roughcast with leaded glass windows liberally specified. Drawings for later additions and alterations were prepared for J.H. Oldfield (see file 139).
