Pierre Savard House - Integrated Project Dossier (2015)
- Description:
- The Pierre Savard House is found in the Sandy Hill Neighbourhood in the downtown area of Ottawa. It is owned and operated by the University of Ottawa since 1919 and located on the north end of the campus. This site had started construction in 1884 and was completed in 1885 in the victorian style. It was originally built for William Wall to serve as a single-family home and was one of the five homes of that style that were built on that street during the late 1800s. The Wall family left the house in 1902 and the house was purchased by the university of Ottawa in 1919. It was used as a residence for the school until the 1970s when it was converted into offices for the History Department. During the 1960s and 1970s, the exterior of the building was painted grey in an effort to show the connection between the building and the rest of the university. In 1996, a restoration project of the site, including the exterior, was under-taken by Murray and Murray Associates. The red brick was exposed once again and the mortar and broken bricks were carefully repaired. To restore some of the lost heritage value of the building, missing ornaments like the gingerbread trim and the porch entry were redone based on historical photos discovered in the university archives. The building was renamed the Pierre Savard House after a history professor that worked at the university in the History Department. Currently, many rooms on the first two floors are used as offices but the rest of the house is empty. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2015.
