Présentation du contenu:
This project series documents the implementation of room barricades in the Grange mansion at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto in 1982. The office identified the project number as 8204.

This project consisted of the addition of railings to rooms in the Grange in order to facilitate the flow of patrons through the house. The Grange is a nineteenth century mansion that makes up part of the AGO. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971.

The project is recorded through drawings and textual records from 1982 including correspondence and invoices.
