Scope and Content
This project series documents alterations to the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto in 1982. The office identified the project number as 8205.
From 1973-1975, Parkin Architects Planners designed and constructed the Toronto Sun press plant and office building at 333 King Street East. This project consisted of alterations to the press hall of that building. These alterations were done to accommodate a future press, referred to as Press D, by installing new floor tracks, an additional ink tank in the ink room, and stairs and mezzanine supports.
The project is recorded through drawings, a mounted photograph of the printing press and textual records dating from 1982. The drawings consist of a floor plan, framing plan, sections, details and mechanical plans, while textual records include site reports, financial records, conference reports and correspondence.
Materials in this project series have been kept in their original order and/or arranged by material type.
