Show detail Hide detail

Fetherstonhaugh, Harold Lea, 1887-1971 : Harold Lea Fetherstonhaugh (1887-1971) was born in Montreal. He graduated from McGill University with a degree in architecture in 1909. During 1910 and 1911 he worked for architecture firms in New York and Montreal. From 1911 to 1913 he travelled abroad and continued his architectural education by studying in the Atelier Laloux in France. During the First World War Fetherstonhaugh served in the Canadian Field Artillery. After the war he established an architectural practice in Montreal. Residential commissions dominate his oeuvre, however, he had a number of notable commissions for public buildings, in particular for McGill University. Fetherstonhaugh received a medal from the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada for his design for the Douglas Hall men's residence, and he designed Divinity Hall on University Street, now called the William and Henry Birks Building, which houses the Faculty of Religious Studies. Fetherstonhaugh was the president of the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada from 1928 to 1939 and he served as the president of the Province of Quebec Association of Architects.

The names under which the architectural practice was known are: Fetherstonhaugh, H.L., 1922-34; Fetherstonhaugh & Durnford, 1934-45; Fetherstonhaugh, Durnford, Bolton & Chadwick, 1946-54; Durnford, Bolton & Chadwick, 1955; Durnford, Bolton, Chadwick & Ellwood, 1956-64; Bolton, Chadwick, Ellwood & Aimers, 1964-69; Ellwood, Aimers & Henderson, 1970; Ellwood & Henderson, 1971-80; Ellwood, Michael, G.C., 1981-.
