12 Alfred Chapman
Alfred Chapman was born in Toronto and apprenticed with architect Beaumont Jarvis (1864-1948) prior to attending the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he graduated in 1902. After working in New York City, Chapman returned to Toronto and formed a partnership with Robert B. McGiffin. The partnership designed a number of Carnegie libraries, including: Dundas (1909); Barrie (1915); and Toronto’s Dovercourt Branch (Toronto, 1913). They also designed Knox College (Toronto, 1912-15) and Rosedale Presbyterian (Toronto, 1909). The partnership dissolved in 1919 and Chapman joined with engineer J. Morrow Oxley (1883-1957). Their most well-known building is the art deco-designed Holy Blossom Temple (Toronto, 1938). The partnership of Chapman & Oxley was responsible for many other important buildings, including an addition to the Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto, 1932) and the Harbour Commission Building (Toronto, 1919). Chapman was a fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

33 Burke and Horwood
J.C.B. Horwood (1864-1938) was born in Quidi Vidi, Newfoundland. His family moved to Toronto when he was four. Horwood attended the Ryerson School, Jarvis Street Collegiate Institute and the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Science. In 1882, he joined Langley, Langley & Burke until 1890 when he moved to New York and worked as a draftsman at a number of architectural firms. In 1894, he returned to Toronto and entered into a partnership with Edmund Burke (1850-1919). Burke and Horwood's first important commission was the rebuilding of the Robert Simpson store in Toronto. Burke had designed the original store in 1894, but it burned down within weeks of its opening. Horwood had experienced advanced building methods in New York, and Simpson hired the partnership to design a fireproof store in 1895-96. This firm also designed a number of non-conformist churches, including: King Street East Methodist (Toronto, 1902); Memorial Baptist (Toronto, 1896-97); King Street Baptist (Cambridge, 1905); and Fourth Avenue Baptist (Ottawa, 1904). The firm was renamed Horwood and White in 1919 after Burke's death; it existed under that name until 1969. The practice was carried on by Horwood’s son Eric who, in 1979, donated over a century's worth of architectural drawings to the Archives of Ontario.

57 Darling & Pearson
John Andrew Pearson (1867-1940) was born in Chesterfield, England and came to Toronto in 1888. In 1890, Pearson began working for Henry Sproatt (1866-1934). By 1892-93, he was working for the firm of Darling, Curry & Sproatt. In 1893, Curry departed, leaving the firm as Darling, Sproatt & Pearson, which became Darling & Pearson, one of the Canada's leading commercial architectural firms at the turn of the century. Darling & Pearson were best known for their bank designs, most notably the Canadian Bank of Commerce (Toronto, 1929-31) – the tallest building in the Commonwealth at the time it was completed. R.S. McLaughlin commissioned Darling & Pearson to design Parkwood (Oshawa, 1916), now a National Historic Site, including the main house, stable, gatehouse and greenhouses. Church designs included St. Andrew's Presbyterian (Darling, Sproatt & Pearson, Belleville, 1895) and Glenview Presbyterian (Darling & Pearson, Toronto, 1931). In 1916, Pearson and J. Omer Marchand were selected to redesign the Centre Block of Canada’s Parliament Buildings (Ottawa, 1859-66). The Centre Block was destroyed in a fire in January 1916.

69 Edmund Burke
Edmund Burke was born in Toronto where he was educated at Jesse Ketchum School and Upper Canada College. From 1865-72, he was an apprentice to his uncle, architect Henry Langley (1836-1907). In 1873, Henry Langley, his brother Edward (a builder) and Edmund Burke formed the partnership of Langley, Langley & Burke. Following the retirement of Edward, the partnership of Langley & Burke continued until Edmund left in 1892. Langley & Burke obtained a number of important church commissions, including Sherbourne Street Methodist (now St. Luke’s United, Toronto, 1886-87) and Trinity Methodist (now Trinity-St. Paul’s United, Toronto, 1887-89). From 1895-1908, he was in the partnership of Burke & Horwood, which also completed a number of church designs, including: Memorial Baptist (Toronto, 1896-97); Fourth Avenue Baptist (Ottawa, 1904, now Ukrainian Baptist); and King Street Baptist (Cambridge, 1905). The partnership of Burke, Horwood & White was an extremely successful firm that designed, among other buildings, the Hudson Bay Company’s flagship stores in Western Canada, using modern building technology to create some of the country’s first skyscrapers. Burke was a founding member the Architectural Guild of Toronto (1887), the Ontario Association of Architects (1899) and the Royal Architectural Institute in Canada (1908).

70 Edward James (E.J.) Lennox
E.J. Lennox was born in Toronto where he attended architectural drawing classes at the Mechanics’ Institute, after which he studied in the office of William Irving for five years. He founded the firm of Lennox and McGraw, which dissolved in 1882. Important Lennox buildings include: Erskine Presbyterian Church (Toronto, 1879); Bond Street Congregational Church (Toronto, 1879); and Bloor Street Baptist (Toronto, 1884). Perhaps his most famous design is Sir Henry Pellet’s Casa Loma (Toronto, 1909-13). Lennox is most noted for his use of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, which is best seen in Toronto’s Old City Hall (1887-89), the Toronto Athletic Club (1890) and the west wing of Ontario's legislative building at Queen's Park (Toronto, 1909). He also designed in other architectural styles popular during his time as a practising architect, including Edwardian Classicism, Victorian Eclectic and Beaux-Arts, the latter of which can be seen in the Bank of Toronto building (Toronto, 1905) on Yonge Street.

88 Frederic W. Cumberland
Fredrick W. Cumberland was born in London, England. He was educated at King’s College, Cambridge and studied at the office of Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860), architect of the Houses of Parliament at Westminster. Cumberland immigrated to Canada in 1847 where he was appointed engineer for the County of York. In 1852, he formed a partnership with W.G. Storm (1826-92), which lasted until 1865. One of the partnership’s best-known works – University College (Toronto, 1856-59) – is characterized by irregular massing, contrasting materials and skilful stone-carving. Some of his notable designs include: County of York Magistrates’ Court (Toronto, 1852); St. James Anglican Cathedral (Toronto, 1850-53); St James-the-Less (Toronto, 1855-57); and the Church of the Ascension (Hamilton, 1850-51).

96 George Browne
George Browne was born in Belfast, Ireland. He received architectural training in Dublin under the supervision of his architect father. Browne arrived in Quebec c. 1830 and Kingston in 1841, where he worked as a government architect. He created buildings that were nationalistic in ambition – Kingston City Hall (1842-44) was one of his greatest. The majority of his buildings were constructed with Kingston grey limestone, including St. Andrew’s Manse (1841) and a branch of the Bank of Montreal (1844). Browne left Kingston for Montreal in 1844.

99 George Durand
George Durand entered Peel’s Art School in London, Canada West (Ontario) at the age of 14. In the 1860s, he trained with architect William Robinson (1812-94). After completing his apprenticeship, Durand was hired as Clerk of Works for the Thomas Fuller-designed New York State Capitol building in Albany. The project encountered much criticism because of its opulence and budget, and Fuller and his staff were all fired and replaced. Durand returned to London and became one of the leading architects of the era in southwestern Ontario. Durand joined William Robinson and Thomas Henry Tracy (1848-1925) in 1878; by 1880, he and Tracy were partners after the retirement of Robinson. Churches attributed to Tracy & Durand include: Talbot Street Baptist (London, 1881-82, now First Christian Reformed Church); Christ Church Anglican (Delaware, 1885); and Carmel Presbyterian (Hensall, 1886-87, now Hensall Presbyterian). Churches attributed as the sole work of Durand include Knox Presbyterian (Listowel, 1887-88) and Colborne Street Methodist (London, 1888-89, now United). Durand also designed Upper Canada College (Toronto, completed 1889, demolished) and Petrolia Town Hall (Petrolia, 1887-89, now Victoria Hall). After Durand’s death, the firm’s projects were completed by Fred Henry (1865-1929), who joined with Durand’s former colleague, John M. Moore (1857-1930) to carry on the practice.

At 17, he began a seven-year apprenticeship with William Hay, a Scottish-born architect who specialized in the Gothic Revival style. From 1862-69, Langley was in partnership with Thomas Gundry (d. 1869). In 1873, Henry Langley, his brother Edward (a builder) and Edmund Burke (1850-1919) formed the partnership of Langley, Langley and Burke. Jarvis Street Baptist Church (1874-75) was the firm’s first important commission, and was one of the earliest church amphitheatres designed in Ontario. Following the retirement of Edward, Henry and Edmund continued until 1892. Langley undertook commissions for residential, commercial and public structures, but it is for his churches that Langley is most remembered. Important Langley commissions include: Metropolitan Methodist, now United Church (Langley, Toronto, 1872 – the interior was destroyed by fire in 1928); St. George’s Anglican (Langley, Guelph, 1873); and Simcoe St. Methodist Church (Gundry & Langley, Oshawa, 1867).

165 John George Howard
John George Howard was born as John Corby in Hertfordshire, England, where he attended boarding school. At age 15, he joined the navy. He acquired skills in navigation, geometry and marine surveying and began a career in land surveying, engineering and architecture after leaving the navy. He worked for a number of architects – his uncle at Kensington Cross, London architects John Grayson and William Ford, and a firm of contracting architects in Maidstone. Around 1833, he immigrated to York (Toronto) in Upper Canada where he was appointed city surveyor. He became an important teacher, political figure and naturalist; he was one of the first professional architects to settle in Toronto. From 1833-56, Howard was a drawing instructor at Upper Canada College and, from 1853-57, he was a Justice of the Peace. His best-known religious buildings were Holy Trinity Anglican (Chippawa, 1840), Christ Church Anglican (Tyendinaga, 1843) and St. John's Anglican York Mills (Toronto, 1843). He also laid out St. James Cemetery on Parliament Street (Toronto). In 1873, Howard and his wife Jemima Frances Meikle deeded High Park to the City of Toronto. His home – Colborne Lodge, which Howard designed in 1836 – was also willed to the city.

168 John Lyle
John Lyle was born in Ireland. He emigrated, with his parents, to Ontario in 1878. Lyle spent his childhood in Hamilton where he attended the Hamilton School of Art. He trained as an architect at the Yale School of the Arts and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which he entered in 1894. Lyle spent a number of years working in New York City for several large architectural firms. On his return to Canada in 1906, he became a key figure in the dissemination of Beaux-Arts ideals to the architectural profession. He gave lectures at the University of Toronto on the style and designed some of that city’s great Beaux-Arts buildings, such as Union Station (1914-21) and the Royal Alexandra Theatre (Toronto, 1906-07). Lyle’s Runnymede Public Library (Toronto, 1929) combines a uniquely Canadian architecture with the use of local materials, a French-Canadian design influence and First Nation imagery. He also designed Central Presbyterian Church (Hamilton, 1907-08). Lyle was a leader in Toronto’s City Beautiful movement. He also developed visionary designs for Toronto's Civic Improvement League.

181 Joseph Connolly
Joseph Connolly was born in Limerick, Ireland. He received his professional training in Dublin under J.J. McCarthy (1817-81) – a leading 19th-century Catholic Church architect who specialized in the Gothic Revival style. After settling in Toronto, Connolly practised alone until 1873 when he formed a partnership with Silas James, a land surveyor. By 1877, he had left the partnership and, in the 1880s, formed another with A.W. Holmes. This partnership lasted until Connolly's death in 1904. Although Connolly is credited with designing a number of secular buildings, it is his designs for religious structures – particularly those for the Roman Catholic Church – that are most remarkable. His Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Guelph, 1876) is designated as a National Historic Site. Other important churches include: James Street Baptist Church (Hamilton, 1879); St. Peter's Cathedral Basilica (London, 1880); St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church (Toronto, 1885); and St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Basilica (Toronto, 1887).

256 Thomas Fuller
Thomas Fuller was born in Bath, England, and emigrated to Toronto in 1857. Soon after his arrival, he set up an architectural firm with Chilion Jones (1835-1912), with whom he designed Canada’s Parliament Buildings (Ottawa, completed 1878; destroyed by fire in 1916). He was Chief Architect at the department of Public Works from 1881 to 1896, where he supervised the design of over 140 buildings across the country. It was through these designs that he defined the character of federal architecture in Canada. His small post offices became recognizable symbols of the federal government. From a religious architecture perspective, the firm specialized in Anglican church architecture in a Gothic revival style, including: St. Stephen-in-the-Fields (Toronto, 1858); St. Alban the Martyr Anglican (Ottawa, 1867-77); and St. John the Baptist Anglican (Lyn, 1858-69).

Langley & Howland continued until 1941, when the partners retired. Howland designed St. Anne’s Anglican (Toronto, 1908) in the Byzantine Revival style, a design and choice of style that is unique in Anglican church architecture in Canada.
