Birchdale surveys and plans

File contains a 1916 Canadian Government Railways and Halifax Ocean Terminal Railway plan showing a proposed bridge for Coburg Road and access to Birchdale; an undated property survey showing existing buildings, including the Birchdale Hotel, Acadia Cottage, a bathing house, boat house and the north and south wharfs; two plans of proposed jetties on the Birchdale property; a floor plan by architect R.A.
