title: Billings Estate Museum (Attic) - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)

description: Billings Estate is one of the oldest estates in the city of Ottawa as well as a focal point of the Billings area. The Billings family contributed much to the region’s history while playing a political role in the upbringing of the city. After being passed on through many generations of the family, the estate was finally bought by the City of Ottawa and made into a museum in 1975. Designated as the Billings House National Historic Site of Canada, Billings Estate is a two and a half storey, five-bay house classically built in the New England style of the Georgian period. Billings Estate, built between 1828 and 1829, was the home of the Billings family and one of the first houses built in the city of Ottawa. The family-owned much land, with the estate originally consisting of 8.3 acres overlooking the Rideau River, and holds one of Ottawa’s oldest community cemeteries. As such, Billings Estate played a key role in the development of the Billings region of today. Now a museum owned by the City of Ottawa, Billings Estate is a designated federal heritage site for its architectural, historical and cultural values under the Historic Site and Monuments Act (R.S.C., 1985, C.H.4). This project focuses specifically on the attic area. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015.

title: Billings Estate (Ground Floor) - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)

description: Billings Estate Museum is the former home of the Billings family. It is a wooden structure; with a basement, main floor, second floor, and attic. Originally 1500 acres in size the site is now 8 acres and includes the main house, the gate-house, and the family cemetery. The Construction of the main house started in 1828 and it finished in 1829. The structure is timber frame and the exterior is wood cladding, the cladding is laid horizontal and painted white. The architecture of the building is the New England style of the Georgian period. The home was built by Bradd-ish Billings I; who was originally born in Massachusetts, Braddish was the first settler in Gloucester Township when he immigrated in 1812. In 1831 the family moved their former house intact to the east side of the main house. It was at this point that they removed the existing veranda. In 1865 the family built a west wing, which was to be a separate kitchen for Braddish’s daughter Sally Billings. The site is in itself a character-defining element. Elevated above the surrounding area the site oversees the property as well as the Rideau River. The new England style classical inspired design, which includes the rectangular massing, front-sloped pitched roof with end chimneys, and slate shingles. The front façade has symmetrical organization of the central block and central entries and an open porch with pillars supporting a balcony. The windows have decorative connecting with dentiles and the top floor pedimented dormers.

title: Andrex House (Second Floor) - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)

description: Andrex House, previously known as the Davidson House, is an excellent example of Queen Anne Revival architecture. Built-in 1889 by Robert Davidson as a wedding gift, the house is unique in its asymmetrical facade design, ornate interior wood finishes, and stained glass windows. After passing through several owners, the house was restored to its original condition in 1978 and is protected by section 60 of the Ottawa city by-laws as a heritage site. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015. This project focussed on recording the second floor of this historic house, an earlier dossier of 2014 focused on the ground floor.

title: Dalhousie Community Centre (Ground Floor) - Integrated Project Work (2015)

description: The Dalhousie Community Centre is a significant historical site due to its historical value evident in material choice, architectural value through the combination of Neoclassical and Schoolhouse styles of building, and societal values associated with the meshing of different people from diverse backgrounds into a cohesive community. This dossier focused in recording the ground floor ofo this building. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015.

title: Dalhousie Community Centre (Third Floor) - Integrated Project Work (2015)

description: Built-in 1906 for the neighbouring Dominican Monastery, the Dalhousie Community Centre was used as both a schoolhouse and later a school of linguistics until 1974. Currently owned by the City of Ottawa, the building serves the locals of Chinatown and Dalhousie as their own community centre. Specifically, the centre serves the Dalhousie Community by catering its programs and providing support to high-risk urban families with young children or teens. It also continues the school houses tradition of teaching the local community the national languages of Canada. The centre is thus recognized by the local community for its educational and cultural values and ideals, however, hidden behind its rubble masonry facade are some fine examples of schoolhouse architecture, as well as fine architectural details and woodwork, such as its uniquely patterned metal ceiling. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015, for the purpose of learning to document Ottawa’s architectural heritage. In this case, the team worked to document the third floor of the Dalhousie Community Centre.

title: Pierre Savard House - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)

description: The Pierre Savard House is found in the Sandy Hill Neighbourhood in the downtown area of Ottawa. It is owned and operated by the University of Ottawa since 1919 and located on the north end of the campus. This site had started construction in 1884 and was completed in 1885 in the victorian style. It was originally built for William Wall to serve as a single-family home and was one of the five homes of that style that were built on that street during the late 1800s. The Wall family left the house in 1902 and the house was purchased by the university of Ottawa in 1919. It was used as a residence for the school until the 1970s when it was converted into offices for the History Department. During the 1960s and 1970s, the exterior of the building was painted grey in an effort to show the connection between the building and the rest of the university. In 1996, a restoration project of the site, including the exterior, was under-taken by Murray and Murray Associates. The red brick was exposed once again and the mortar and broken bricks were carefully repaired. To restore some of the lost heritage value of the building, missing ornaments like the gingerbread trim and the porch entry were redone based on historical photos discovered in the university archives. The building was renamed the Pierre Savard House after a history professor that worked at the university in the History Department. Currently, many rooms on the first two floors are used as offices but the rest of the house is empty.

title: Commissariat Building - Bytown Museum (Second Floor) - Integrated Project Work (2015)

description: The Bytown Museum, also known as the Commissariat Building, was built in 1827 to house the supplies of the Royal Engineers building the Rideau Canal. It is the oldest stone building in Ottawa, and is an example of pre-confederation architecture. It is easily identified by its imposing masonry and supply doors on each level. The building is designated as historic by the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office, and the designation is confined to the footprint of the building. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015. The scope of this project focused on recording the second floor of the museum.

title: 225 Bruyère House - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)

description: While the structure isn’t as complex architecture-wise in comparison to other homes, it holds value in regards to Ottawa’s true heritage and origins. 225 Bruyère is located in one of Ottawa’s initial neighbourhoods, and the main reason why it is an interest for historic assessment is due to its capability to physically provide an insight of the city’s ‘working class’ past and heritage. The residence mainly exhibits a vernacular architectural style, where the basic need for housing surpassed the luxury of design, thus the significance of the home is a focus on heritage over architecture. 225 Bruyère is a prime example of how the lower-class immigrants in the 1800s lived; a topic that is not often mentioned or discussed in heritage conservation. With the home being over 150 years and sustaining most of its original features, this type of construction and architectural style is no longer attained and is very unique in terms of historic preservation; it serves as part of Ottawa’s cultural significance that future generations can view as an example of how their immigrant ancestors settled and underwent adversities to achieve a better life. As 225 Bruyère is based on a vernacular architecture with slight influences of a worker’s cottage. There are not many ornamental features serving as character-defining elements, yet it still stands as a noteworthy structure with very few of its kind remaining.

title: Alex Trebek Alumni Hall - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Alex Trebek Alumni Hall is located on the campus of the University of Ottawa. The building is composed of two heritage homes, the Thomas Foran House and the Maison Gaston- Héon. This recording took place over the course of four months, from January to April of 2016. It is estimated that the house was built in 1884-1885, in a vernacular Victorian architectural style. A year later, in 1886, H. A. Small became the first resident of the house.

title: The Price House - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: Built-in 1912, The Price House is a fantastic example of a Tudor Revival/Edwardian Classical home. This three-storey home showcases the Tudor Revival style on its exterior, defined by its half-timbered and stucco façade, and spotlights the Edwardian Classical style through various ornamentation and arts and crafts components in the interior. The Price House is located in the Glebe community of Ottawa, Ontario, and is part of the Clemow Estate East Heritage District.

title: Mayfair Apartments (Jane McGill apartment) - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Mayfair Apartments is a seven-storey building built-in 1936 at 260 Metcalfe Street in Ottawa, Ontario. This mid-rise apartment was converted from an apartment hotel into a Co-op in 1982 and became a condominium in 2001. Designed by the McGill trained architect Hugh A. Richards, this building is a rich example of Stripped Classical Architecture with pronounced Beaux-Arts influences in Ottawa. Due to its architectural and historical value, this building is designated as Category Two under the Ontario Heritage Act. The site is located on 260 Metcalfe Street, at the corner of Metcalfe Street and MacLaren Street. The building’s location in the center town is prominent due to its proximity to the parliament hill and other significant buildings in the area. When it was first built, there were not as many tall buildings, thus, it had a better view to the Parliament building and the other landmarks, unlike now where only the east block is visible.

title: Mayfair Apartments (Ground Floor) - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Mayfair building, located on 260 Metcalfe Street, greatly illustrates historical values belonging to the Art Deco era. The Mayfair was built in 1936 and designed by a local architect, Hugh Archibald Richards. This building is an example of the Art Deco Architecture, common in the Prewar era. The building is located among various other heritage buildings in the middle of Centertown. It represents a more elegant lifestyle demonstrated by the detail and craftsmanship put into every aspect of the building. It is the goal of the owners to make minimal changes to the design of the building to preserve the history and its original beauty.

title: Rosemount Public Library - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Rosemount Library serves as an example of Beaux-Arts Architecture, an architectural style that was widely popular in Ottawa at the turn of the 20th century. However, many of the Beaux-Arts features of the original library were compromised during the 1982 renovation; it was in fact this renovation that continues to deny the building a heritage des­ignation. Thus, the significance of the building lies pri­marily in its history and modern-day context. Rose­mount Library was initially the second Carnegie Li­brary constructed in Ottawa, the first being the Ottawa Public Library, opened in 1906. Carnegie Li­braries were a series of libraries constructed during the late 19th-early 20th century from the funds of the American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The Rosemount branch, which was constructed in 1918, was the last library to be built during Andrew Carn­egie's life as he died the following year. When the Ottawa Public Library was demolished and rebuilt in 1974, the Rosemount branch became the last standing Carnegie library in the city. This student project focused on recording the study on the first floor of the build­ing-the reading room and the stack room.

title: Tabaret Hall - Integrated Project Dossier (First Floor) (2016)

description: Tabaret Hall is a prominent neoclassical building located at 550 Cumberland Street in Ottawa, Ontario. Since it’s construction in 1905 by A.O. Von Herbulis of New York, the building has served a range of purposes from dormitories to a dining hall, until its current function today as the University of Ottawa’s central administrative hub, located in the heart of the campus. Originally the building housed students and professors, a rectory, a chapel, a gymnasium, several classrooms, and offices. The additions to the building in 1914 and 1922 were also designed by A.O Von Herbulis to help accommodate the rapid growth of the institution [2]. Today, Tabaret Hall is still a vital part of the university's campus. The high quality of neoclassical architecture this building exemplifies is unparalleled by any other buildings of similar style in Ottawa. The neoclassical architectural design of the building was unique to the era in which it was built, as many institutions in Canada had been hesitant to explore styles beyond the gothic revival. Tabaret Hall is also notable as it was one of the first buildings in Ottawa to employ a complete rein-forced concrete structure as a means to withstand potential fires - a lessoned learned from the destruction of the site’s previous building in 1903. The building bears the namesake of Father Joseph-Henri Tabaret, a noteworthy member of the Roman Catholic congregation known as the Oblate Fathers of Mary Immaculate. As both a priest and an academic, Father Tabaret was appointed as the Rector of the College of Bytown. An ardent defender of bilingualism, Father Tabaret strove to ensure that the College of Bytown remained bilingual, and under his influence, the institution became an official university [3]. It was in recognition of his great contribution to the institution, and bilingualism in Canada, that the building was renamed Tabaret Hall in 1971.

title: Tabaret Hall - Integrated Project Dossier (Third Floor) (2016)

description: Tabaret Hall is located in the heart of the University of Ottawa’s campus at 550 Cumberland Street. This location puts Tabaret Hall steps away from Ottawa’s downtown core and the Rideau Canal. Tabaret Hall is named after Father Joseph-Henri Tabaret under who’s leadership Bytown College became the University of Ottawa. Construction on the building started in 1904 at the same site as the original building, which was destroyed by ﬁre in 1903. Tabaret Hall is a reinforced concrete building, likely due to concrete’s ﬁre resistant properties and the fear of another ﬁre. It is also one of the earliest examples of reinforced concrete buildings in Canada. The central section of the building was completed in 1905 and the wings were added in 1914 and 1922. The building was designed by A. O. Von Herbulis from New York who was inspired by the Washington capital building. This influence can be seen throughout the building and in particular, in the glass dome in the center that was ﬁnally completed in 1970. It can also be seen in the iconic façade with its six large ionic pillars and the triangular pediment and in the massing of the building. Tabaret Hall is central to the University of Ottawa and is so important to its image that it’s iconic front façade inspired the school's logo. The building has housed a variety of facilities since its construction such as a gymnasium, dining area, dormitories, classrooms and ofﬁces. Throughout its life, Tabaret Hall has inspired thousands of students and is a symbol of the institution. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2016. The project focused on recording the third floor.

title: Windsor Arms Building - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Windsor Arms building was first constructed in 1929 and later opened on April 30, 1930. Cecil Burgess designed the building in the Art Nouveau style, with modern amenities of the time. The cost to build was $300,000, which is about 85% more than the average construction cost of the time due to these modern amenities. When the building was first opened for tenancy, lobby and parking attendants as well as maid services were available to the residents. At the time when the building was built, highway 417 were originally rail lines, and the block the building sits on was originally shared with the Ottawa Auditorium and the Beaver Barracks. The Auditorium once housed the original Senators and was eventually demolished in 1967, which was then replaced by YMCA-YWCA.

title: The Moore Farm - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

description: The Moore Farm, which is situated at 670 Boulevard Alexandre-Tache, has a very old and rich history that dates back to the 1800s. It was first bought in 1824 by Philemon Wright, a prominent figure in the settlement of the Ottawa area. Starting at the time of the purchase, the property was initially used for agricultural purposes. It was then passed down from Philemon to his son, Ruggles, who then passed it on to his son who was also called Ruggles. In 1872, following the death of the last Wright owner, the property was sold to David Moore. Following this, the stable was built around 1910. In this timeframe, farm transferred hands a couple of times until it was bought by Virginia Parker Moore in 1951. At this point, the farm became an important equestrian farm in the region. In 1973, Virginia Parker Moore donated the farm to the National Capital Commission (NCC) in the hopes that the farm would be protected and could be enjoyed by the public for generations to come. For a couple of decades, the farm remained unused until the NCC decided to invest money into the site to restore and rehabilitate the buildings. The site was rehabilitated with the goal of creating an eco-education center where members of the community could actively farm the land.
