Scope and content

File contains two complete sets of construction blueprints for the Macdonald Memorial Library (now the Macdonald Building) at Dalhousie University, which was designed by Halifax architect Andrew R. Cobb with consulting architect Frank Darling of Toronto. One set was reproduced from the set of 16 original sheets signed by G.S. Campbell, Chairman of the Board of Governors, and building contractors A.D. Falconer and D. McDonald, all but three of which (nos. 8, 12 and 14) are located in UA-9, Box 1, Folder 1. The other blueprints are marked "set no. 4" and were reproduced before/without the approval signatures. There is also an incomplete set of diazo prints (purple ink on cream paper), as well as a complete set of heating and ventilating blueprints produced by MacMullen, Riley & Durley, Consulting Engineers, and signed by G.S. Campbell and A.D. Falconer and D. McDonald.
