Public1630 York Place, Oak Bay, B.C.
Item is an architectural drawing by Samuel Maclure prepared for Mrs. C.F. Armstrong of Oak Bay, B.C.
Drawings for different projects ranging from proposal sketches to working drawings and a consultant's plan. Plans, elevations and details are represented in most projects. Additions to a two-storey house with basement and various new outbuildings on the grounds. A wing adds a trunk room in the basement, and a laundry on the ground floor. The roof of the latter forms a balcony off the boys' sleeping room on the second floor. Plans specify a rubble stone basement wall and wood-frame walls finished with roughcast. Another addition extends the maid's bedroom and adds a bathroom and closet over the porte cochere. Another bathroom is later added above this extension connecting with the boys' room. Two further second-floor bedrooms are added next to the boys' room (possibly above the first addition described above). A large terrace with rubble stone walls is added across the breadth of the east side of the house, and quarter-turn stairs descend from it. The terrace turns the northeast corner of the house and is surrounded by a two-storey structure next to the laundry addition. A new second-floor bedroom with lavatory and closet is built above a loggia on the ground floor or terrace level. Two sketch plans show wall, window and fireplace treatment of a living room extension. Outbuildings include five different proposals for a garden tea house, two designs for a change house, two proposals for garage additions and a large cruciform greenhouse with attached aviary. This house was originally designed for Judge Peter Secord Lampman in 1905 by F.M. Rattenbury and built in 1907-08. P.L. James and Hubert Savage designed further additions in 1930. Includes four sets of specifications (AP119-AP122). Contractors' signatures on various plans include Leggett & Girardeau (per. H. Leggett) and Hunter & Halket (per E.J. Hunter).
