"It is true a
recreation building is now under construction... but the building is
only suitable for a very few summer sports, picnicers’ lounging place
and drinking of afternoon tea, during four months of the year... The
original plans, as outlined by men who would use the building as
outlined by men who would use the building and presumably know something
of what was required, called for a building containing accommodations
for curling, hockey and all kinds of winter sports, and would have cost
very little if any more than the one now under construction. These plans
were sanctioned by the people of Banff at a mass meeting held in the
National Park theater, but their wishes and desires were, as usual,
ignored by the 'over lords' at Ottawa, who imagine they are wiser as to
conditions in Banff than those who live and have their being here."

Improvements. Sup’t Clarke went down to Calgary on Monday night and all
the city papers, Tuesday, contained articles on ‘Improvements Projected
at Banff’... Just what use the government will make of the pavilion
erected at the recreation grounds last winter... neglected to inform the
press of Calgary... Crag and Canyon has contended that the present
building was utterly useless and the money used in construction
wasted..." (Photocopy courtesy of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian

"The grounds in
front of the recreation building were under water last week, and it was
possible for a man, if so inclined, to wade out to the building, sit on
the steps and fish... They are neither ornamental nor useful except as a
standing monument to the incapacity of Parks Commissioner Harkin."

"Francis Conroy
Sullivan. An Architect Ahead of His Time... ‘I am your friend because
you have tried hard to do something superior in your work and tried to
do it honestly.’ In these lines from a letter written around 1917
American architect Frank Lloyd Wright paid tribute to a brilliant,
eccentric and neglected Canadian architect named Francis Conroy
Sullivan... In 1911 they worked together on the Pembroke Public Library
project." (Monograph 3,
p 235, 1913). "In 1913 Sullivan had collaborated with Wright on a park
shelter (Pavilion) at Banff, Alberta." Banff Park Pavilion (Monograph
3, p 194-5, 1911). Note: Also collaborated on Railway Station for
Banff National Park Project (Monograph
3, p 196, 1911); and Ladies Kiosk Project, Ottawa (Monograph
4, p 16, 1914). In 1916 "...His first stop was Taliesin where he
worked on drawings for the Imperial Hotel project. ...Wright offered
Sullivan a job as supervisor of construction in Tokyo." He declined due
to health. "In 1928... Wright invited Sullivan to join his staff in
Arizona... In March of 1929 Sullivan collapsed... rushed to the hospital
in Phoenix... He was dead at the age of 47. Wright himself made the
arrangements to return the body to Canada... In 1951... Wright wrote of
his Canadian disciple ‘Fras’ - as we called him - was a brave fellow and
a competent one. His end was tragic." Includes five photographs. Original cover price $3.50
