Scope and content
Series forms part of St. Mary's Basilica (Halifax, N.S.) fonds and consists of multiple architectural drawings of St. Mary's Cathedral, the YMCA Hostel, St. Jerome Church Cemetery (in Caledonia, NS), the dwelling house of the Archbishop in 1867 (Birmingham St., Halifax), and St. Mary's Boys' School. Most drawings are original blue prints. Some older drawings are ink on parchment. Records contain measurements of support beams and structures, fences, walls, stairs, roofs, pillars, doors, and materials to be used. Some records show electrical, heating and plumbing detail, pew layout, and window layout. Some records depict the building before and after renovations using different coloured ink. Most records contain the name of the architect or architectural company, date of drawing, scale, number of drawings in the set, and the name of the building. Also included are two land surveys of Mount Olivet Cemetery and St. Patrick's Boys' Home ([1917?]), and St. Patrick's Boys Home Property (1939). Land surveys include surveyor's name, names of roads, property names, fences, walls, materials to be used, and measurements.
