Mayfair Apartments (Jane McGill apartment) - Integrated Project Dossier (2016)

The Mayfair Apartments is a seven-storey building built-in 1936 at 260 Metcalfe Street in Ottawa, Ontario. This mid-rise apartment was converted from an apartment hotel into a Co-op in 1982 and became a condominium in 2001. Designed by the McGill trained architect Hugh A. Richards, this building is a rich example of Stripped Classical Architecture with pronounced Beaux-Arts influences in Ottawa. Due to its architectural and historical value, this building is designated as Category Two under the Ontario Heritage Act. The site is located on 260 Metcalfe Street, at the corner of Metcalfe Street and MacLaren Street. The building’s location in the center town is prominent due to its proximity to the parliament hill and other significant buildings in the area. When it was first built, there were not as many tall buildings, thus, it had a better view to the Parliament building and the other landmarks, unlike now where only the east block is visible. 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 2016.

梅菲尔公寓（The Mayfair Apartments）是一座建于1936年的七层建筑，坐落于安大略省渥太华市梅特卡夫街260号。这座中层公寓楼最初为公寓酒店，于1982年改建为合作社（Co-op），并在2001年转为共管公寓（condominium）。该建筑由毕业于麦吉尔大学的建筑师休·A·理查兹（Hugh A. Richards）设计，是渥太华地区兼具显著布杂艺术（Beaux-Arts）风格影响的简化古典主义建筑（Stripped Classical Architecture）的典型范例。因其建筑与历史价值，该建筑依据《安大略省遗产法案》（Ontario Heritage Act）被列为二类保护建筑。其场地位于梅特卡夫街与麦克拉伦街的转角处，具体地址为梅特卡夫街260号。该建筑地处市中心核心区位，紧邻议会山（Parliament Hill）与区域内其他重要建筑，地理位置十分醒目。建筑初建时，周边高层建筑寥寥无几，因此当时可清晰眺望议会大厦与其他地标性建筑；而如今仅能望见东楼（East Block）。本整合项目档案由卡尔顿大学（Carleton University）建筑保护与可持续性项目（Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program，由工程师与建筑师组成）的本科学生团队，为2016年开设的CIVE3207（ARCN4100）《历史场地记录与评估》课程所编制。
