I'm happy to hear this - A significant example of early curtainwall construction in Atlantic Canada. Steven Malnell, who used to be Director (?) or Dean (?) of Dalhousie University School of Architecture wrote a book called "Atlantic Modern" that I seem to recall includes this building. He's with Dal's College of Sustainability now, I believe, and is one of the leaders of the DOCOMOMO (DOcumentation and COnservation of the MOdern MOvement) in Atlantic Canada. No doubt he'd be a valuable resource.
