Alterations & additions to bungalow on St. James St., Oak Bay, for Mrs. Maurice Carmichael
1197 Transit Road (formerly St. James Street), Oak Bay, B.C.
Item is an architectural drawing by Samuel Maclure prepared for Elizabeth Carmichael (Mrs. William Maurice Carmichael) of Oak Bay, B.C.
Working drawings consist of plans, elevations, furniture and specifications. A blueprint of the site plan, entitled "Plan of Ardath, Oak Bay Dist.", shows the location of the original garage and what appears to be the outline of a pre-existing house on the site. Contours of the land, a tennis court and the sewer connection are also indicated. Additions and alterations in two stages to expand a garage into a one-storey two-bedroom bungalow. The first alteration in 1917 (AP347, titled "Alterations to garage for H. Carmichael Esq." and inscribed "Maurice Carmichael" on the verso) converts one bay of the garage (cf. AP346) into a bedroom, the second bay into a living room and the "man's room" into a kitchen. A bathroom and vestibule are added on. The house is expanded in 1923 by the addition of a second bedroom, sunroom, new bathroom and furnace room. The original bathroom is converted into closet space. The plan for the 1917 alterations (AP347) is inscribed: "This is the plan agreed to in our contract dated 20th Aug 1917. [Signed] Walter Noble [and] Josephine Carmichael".
