Custodial history
Scope and content
Fonds comprises records of Alfred Chapman, a Toronto-based architect between 1906 and 1943.
Fonds consists primarily of architectural drawings associated with projects undertaken by Chapman's architectural firms: Chapman and McGiffin; Chapman and Oxley; Chapman, Oxley, and Bishop; and Chapman, Oxley and Facey. Included are specifications, correspondence, and other materials, including photographs and prints. Projects include residences, office buildings, religious houses, and public buildings, including educational institutions and recreational structures.
Fonds also contains materials related to the architectural projects. These include such as reviews of Chapman's buildings in architectural publications, and also general reference for ornamentation, decoration, and design, in the form of portfolios and loose plates, prints, and tearsheets.
The records have been augmented with materials of a biographical or genealogical nature, some collected by Chapman's son Howard D. Chapman.
Fonds has been arranged into four series according to functional differences in the records.
