Scope and content
Series consist of architectural and property plans drawn by, or pertaining to, Powers Brothers. The majority of the documents are blueprints of local buildings in which the company performed jobs, as well as heating and plumbing systems they developed, installed, or repaired around Nova Scotia and the Atlantic Provinces. The plans created by Powers Brothers employees tend to be drawn with a pencil and ruler, although some were created freehand. These originals were usually drawn on very thin paper and should be handled with care. For some contracts, Powers Brothers commissioned external companies to create the plans. This series also includes drawings of the Powers Brothers' property. Plans can also be found in the job files and job estimates series. The majority of files in this series were discarded, as they were not made or commissioned by Powers Brothers, but rather only used as reference documents for calculating job estimates.
