Sulphur Concrete for Low-Cost Housing
1973-1975
Project
File related to Minimum Cost Housing Group's projects about sulphur concrete for low-cost housing between 1972 and 1975, including the Saddle Lake Indian Reserve project, in Alberta, in 1974. Various projects that led to publications about sulphur concrete in housing, including "Sulphur Concrete and Very Low-cost Housing" (September 1974) and "Patent Survey, 1859-1974. The Use of Elemental Sulphur in Building" (April 1975). The material in this file was produced between 1973 and 1975. The file contains textual records, including dummies for the publications "Sulphur Concrete and Very Low-cost Housing" and "Patent Survey, 1859-1974. The Use of Elemental Sulphur in Building", and photographs, including photographs used in the publications. The file also includes samples of sulphur concrete bricks and printing plates.
Materiel in this project series was kept in its original order during processing.
