Frank Darling (February 17, 1850 – May 19, 1923) was a Canadian architect and key player in buildings built in Toronto during the early 20th century. He was a promoter of the Beaux-Arts style. ==Life and career== Born in Scarborough Township in the Province of Canada, Darling was the son of the rector of Scarborough and later of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto. As a boy, he received his general education at Upper Canada College before entering Trinity College, Toronto. He worked briefly as a bank teller before becoming apprenticed to architect Henry Langley from 1866-1870. He studied and trained in England between 1870-1873 and then returned to Canada. Apart from two brief solo periods in the 1870s, he practiced with a series of collaborators: * Macdougall & Darling from 1874–75 * Darling & Edwards from 1878–79 * Darling & Curry from 1880–91 * Darling, Curry, Sproatt, & Pearson, 1892 * Darling, Sproatt, & Pearson, 1893–96 Then in 1897, Darling formed the lasting partnership, Pearson and Darling. This firm lasted beyond Darling's death in 1923. The firms in which he was a partnership influenced commercial development in Toronto during the 1910s to 1920s significantly. Darling was the first Honorary President of the Toronto Beaux-Arts Club, member of the Holt Commission for planning of Ottawa (1913–1915), and was the first Canadian to win the Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal in 1915. Darling died in 1923 and was buried at St. John's Cemetery Norway in Toronto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Darling (architect)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
