Biographical history

Bruce Haken Wright was born in Toronto in 1898 and in 1921 received a B.Sc. in architecture from the University of Toronto. During the 1920s Wright lived in New York City where he worked for the firm of McKim, Mead and White in 1922, for York and Sawyer in 1923, and for Warren and Whetmore in 1924. In 1925 Wright returned to Toronto and set up a partnership with Alvan Sherlock Mathers (1895-1965) and Eric Wilson Haldenby (1893-1971). From 1926 until 1932 Wright practised in partnership with Kenneth Furby Noxon (1900-1979). From 1932 until 1945 he worked independently. In 1946 Wright became the architect-in-chief at the Bank of Montreal and relocated to Montreal to work at the head office of the bank.
