|
DESCRIPTION Hugh Griffith Jones (1872-1947) was born in Randolph, WI; he studied at the University of Minnesota and practised architecture in Chicago and later in New York. In 1908 he moved to Montreal and assumed the post of assistant chief architect for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for which he designed a number of railway hotels and stations. The Montreal Windsor Station extension was his first important commission in Canada. During the 1920s Jones worked on the Montreal Terminal development, as well as on the design for Union Station in Toronto, in collaboration with John MacIntosh Lyle (1872-1945). While the majority of Jones' work involved railway companies and stations, he also designed churches and public buildings in Montreal. Mrs. Jones donated drawings, photographs and a model of the Montreal Central Station, as well as drawings of a large church in Westmount, to the CAC. Architectural Drawings, 1908-47.
