The fonds consists of 344 architectural drawings, 62 photographs, 6 panels, and a small amount of textual records documenting the architectural career of Richard Hunter. The architectural drawings comprise the majority of the records in the fonds. They span the years when Hunter was a student at the University of Oklahoma in the mid-1950s, from 1958 to 1967 when Hunter practiced architecture in California and Alaska, and from 1968 to 2015 when his practice was located in Victoria, British Columbia. The drawings include both artistic and imaginary conceptual design projects along with proposed and built projects, largely in the Victoria, B.C., area, but also in Alaska, California, and New Mexico. Among the projects documented in the fonds are Cook Residence, House for Jean-Louis Denux, House for Margaret Haines, Hunter Residence, Intermediate Care Home in Terrace, B.C., Killam Residence, Martin Residence, the Mt. Baldy Zen Centre and Bathhouse in California, Rabinowitz Residence in Fairbanks, Alaska, Rankin Residence, and Sievert Residence. The architectural drawings generally include preliminary drawings and presentation drawings, and to a lesser extent working drawings. The fonds includes a small amount of photographs, panels, and textual records documenting Hunter’s design projects. The office records consist of copies of his architectural practice pamphlets and the photographs include his student work as well as interior and exterior images of the Hunter Residence, Rankin Residence, and Sievert Residence. The fonds also notably includes copies of architectural drawings by the renowned American architect Bruce Goff and his student Herb Greene, both of whom influenced Hunter while he studied at the University of Oklahoma. There are reproductions of 15 of Bruce Goff’s drawings, including presentation drawings for his projects Bavinger House, the Blakeley House, and House for Captain and Mrs. J.D. Wilson. There are ten of Herb Greene’s drawings, which were likely printed by Hunter in the 1950s while an architecture student.
