Sketch of proposed alterations & additions to ""The Oakes"", Oak Bay, B.C., for Alister-Forbes, Esq.
Plans. Alterations and additions to a two-storey house with basement which Maclure probably designed for John Ernest Smart and which was built about 1908. The first floor of the existing structure consists of a hall, library, dining room, pantry, breakfast room, kitchen, sun room, dining room and veranda. On the second floor are a hall, four bedrooms, dressing room, bathroom and water closet. A laundry and larder are in the basement. A coat room and connecting water closet are added off the hall just inside the porch. The veranda is enclosed and fitted with windows and doors, and a wall separating it from the sun room is erected. The drawing room is extended into the former veranda by removal of the wall separating them. An extension of the dining room appears in earlier plans but not in the final drawings. On the second floor the back bedroom receives a new fireplace and built-in shelves, and the door communicating with the dressing room is moved. A second bathroom is added between the two front bedrooms. Three drawings inscribed: "This is one of the drawings referred to in the letter of agreement dated July 27th, 1921. [Signed] Eli Hume."
