Parallel Studios was engaged as a specialist subcontractor on the restoration of 47 Wellington Street, a landmark building originally designed by John Power in 1873. Led by Cityflats, the project transformed a building with a long and varied history, including use as a schoolhouse, HMCS Cataraqui Barracks, and a Queen’s University laboratory, into thoughtfully restored modern apartments.

Our scope focused on the heritage glazing, including the reinstallation of the original historic windows and the fabrication of period-appropriate millwork to replace deteriorated sills, frames, and other original components. Work was carried out to stabilize the glazing and ensure long-term performance while retaining historic detailing and material integrity.

Parallel Studios received recognition from the Frontenac Heritage Foundation for our contribution to the project.
