The Strathcona Building (Basement) - integrated Project Dossier 2014

The Strathcona is an important historic building in the sandy hill community. For the location of where Prime Ministers and important Canadian figures have resided, the monumental entrance, fluted Doric columns, and architectural detailing make this a unique historic building. The basement within these buildings has a history within itself from the structural supports to the original masonry work that has been kept for historic reference. The overall scope of work of this project is to complete a graphical and historical record of an area of the basement of this building. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2014.
