1919 – Design for War Memorial Museum, Regina, Saskatchewan
“In the study of the problem, the promoter’s definite instructions have been kept in mind, that the importance and interest must centre in the Hall of Honor and the War Relics Museum. The Provincial Museum, although given a secondary place, is conveniently arranged, with complete circulation independent of the memorial parts of the building.
The style of the building being left to the discretion of the competitors, no attempt has been made to follow the lines of the Parliament Buildings, but it has been kept in mind that any building within the grounds must harmonize with that already there. According to the conditions of the competition, the area of the several rooms were optional, the exact area and division being left to the discretion of the designer. With these instructions in mind advantage has been taken of the conditions and the vestibule and Hall of Honor increased.
Careful computation has been made of the several parts of the building, and from the floor levels to the roof levels the cube is 654,000 feet. The estimated cost of the building, including ventilation, plumbing, carving, etc., is $408,161.”
