In 1985 the government of Alberta, Canada commisioned A.J. Rogac to do restoration work on the historical MacDougall School located in downtown Calgary. Originally built in 1907, the Provincial Government bought the building in the 1980's and had it converted into offices. In doing so they decided to complete the unfinished west elevation was as per the building's original design. Keeping in sympathy with the original stone cutters, all the work was hand-chisled from sandstone quarried in Southern Alberta. The designs—such as those on the column capitols and the floral friezed—were made to resemble the carvings on the east elevation of the building, which were carved in 1907. The restoration work was completed in 1987.
