Description: The residential cottage of Mr. Roy Geddes at Georgeville was one of the many alteration projects done by the Maxwell & Pitts partnership. The alteration to the cottage included redefining the circulation pattern but retaining the functional components at the same place. New additions such as window openings, fireplaces, cornice and roof detailing were important features of the design. The space over the living room on the first floor was converted to three spacious bedrooms.
