Over the years I have been inspired to take a deep dive in to various projects for my blog, such as past endeavours like publishing all of my Costain/Coscan, Assaly and Beaverbrook floor plans. My latest project is to take it up a notch.  The Campeau Corporation was responsible for constructing approximately 25,000 houses in Ottawa during the 1950s to early 1980s, and the builder has clearly left an imprint on the city. I personally have a very extensive collection of Campeau floor plans, brochures and price sheets, but it is not complete. My goals of this latest project have a few key items: - Posting on my blog all of the plans/brochures that I have - Creating a timeline for the Campeau neighbourhoods in the city - Mapping the Campeau neighbourhoods in an interactive Google map (this may eventually expand to a map with all of the Mid-Century neighbourhoods in Ottawa by all builders!) - Reaching out to my readers and the Ottawa community to get a hold...

Throughout Ottawa and the surrounding region are examples of 1960s and 1970s-era Campeau houses that were not a part of a larger development constructed by the builder. When I first started collecting floor plans years ago I was baffled to find Campeau look-a-like houses spotted throughout Ottawa and Gatineau. Then I came across this brochure and learned that Campeau had a division of their company that would "custom build" some of their top selling plans on your own building lot. The booklet is undated, but refers to fact that Campeau Construction had been building for the  "past 14 years". If this is based on the official founding of the company in 1953, that would make the booklet from 1967, but if it based on the first house he constructed in 1949, it would date the booklet at 1963.
