With his partner, he designed numerous bank buildings, including those for the Merchants' Bank in the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, as well as for the Bank of Montreal (1904) and the Bank of Toronto (1911) in Montreal. The two men also designed several Montreal bourgeois residences, such as the home of lawyer Charles Glass Greenshields.

In 1899, he married Nettie Elizabeth McKee. He died on January 30, 1920, in Westmount, Quebec.
