Hugh Allen Inglis Valentine (1904-1978) was born in Dundee, Scotland. He studied architecture at McGill University during the 1920s, graduating in 1928. During his studies at McGill he worked for the architectural firm of Ross and Macdonald. Upon graduation Valentine worked for William E. Martin in Wilmington, DE, from 1929 to 1930, and in the architectural office of the Bell Telephone Company from 1935 until 1945. From 1945 to 1950 Valentine worked in partnership with Percy Erskine Nobbs (1975-1964). He returned to Bell Telephone in 1950 in the position of chief architect.
