Building permit and design architectural drawings

Series consists of files of architectural drawings created by the Building Department and later, the Permits and Licensing Department. The files were created to aggregate architectural drawings of structures on properties in the city. The large majority of the records had been submitted as part of a building permit application, though drawings created by Building Department staff between ca. 1920 and 1932 are also included in the files.

The series includes drawings submitted to the Building Inspector's offices of the municipalities of Point Grey and South Vancouver in support of permit applications in those two municipalities. These drawings appear to have been amalgamated into the Vancouver Building Department records and assigned Building Department file numbers some time after amalgamation in 1929.

Researchers should note that the Building Department and Permits and Licensing did not retain drawings of single family houses. As a consequence, the series contains very few files documenting houses, other than drawings relating to applications for conversion of single family homes into apartments, rooming houses, or for commercial uses.
