Biographical history
John Schofield was born on March 15, 1883, in Aughnaseda, Monaghan, Ireland.
He was an architect, who moved to Canada in 1904. In 1907, he became the draftsman for the Canadian Northern Railway in Winnipeg. After the Canadian National Railway formed in 1920, he became its main architect, based in Montreal. As a part of the architectural firm Archibald and Schofield, he was involved in almost every design of the CNR station and hotel, e.g. Château Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario, and Montreal Central Station. He retired in 1948.
In 1910, he married Mary Ethel Graham in Grey, Manitoba. He died on November 16, 1971, in Barbados, West Indies, and is buried in Montreal, Quebec.
