| BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS |
He came to Vancouver in 1911, and became a partner in MacKay & Dewar, North Vancouver, with Alexander S.W. MacKay. He apparently designed St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in North Vancouver, although a heritage website notes otherwise. Perhaps he did do the design, but its completion was passed to another firm when he left Canada.
He attended a founding meeting for the British Columbia Society of Architects, held in Victoria on June 22 1912.
He had work in the 1912 Annual Exhibition of the B.C. Society of Fine Arts.
He left Vancouver around December 1912, apparently moving to South Africa, where he had previously worked. He returned to Scotland in 1929 or 1930, where he died at Leven, County Fife, where he is buried.
Editor's note: all information on this biography page - except for the information on the 1912 BCSFA exhibition - is from the Dictionary of Architects in Canada, whose Editors did an excellent job tracking him around the world. He didn't stay in Vancouver long enough to be listed in the City Directories.
