1911 – Entrant design for Lieutenant Governor’s Residence, Ontario, Canada

“The buildings are designed in the Tudor style of architecture, and are arranged on the property as shown in the accompanying “block and garden plan.” The exterior is necessarily very simple, in order to keep within the amount specified in the conditions. With the object of minimizing any noise or vibration occasioned by the trolley lines and traffic in the neighborhood, the Lieutenant-Governor’s residence is located well back from Bloor Street. This also assists in effecting a plan which gives the principal drawing rooms, living rooms, etc., the greatest amount of sun light, and the best views possible along the ravine.”
Construction, May 1911
