Accruals

General note

Architectural drawings, photographs and professional papers document the father-son partnership of Robert (1859-1951) and Francis R. Findlay (1888-1977). This architectural partnership spanned the years 1913 to 1941, interrupted only by Francis' participation in the First World War. Prior to joining his father's firm, Francis studied at the University of Pennsylvania. House designs for wealthy Montrealers dominate the oeuvre of the Findlay partnership. Robert Findlay retired in 1941.

General note

Des dessins architecturaux, des photographies et des documents professionnels témoignent de l'association de Robert Findlay (1859-1951) et de son fils Francis R. Findlay (1888-1977). Cette association professionnelle des Findlay père et fils s'est étendue de 1913 à 1941 et n'est interrompue que par la participation de Francis à la Première Guerre mondiale. Avant d'entrer au cabinet de son père, Francis avait étudié à l'Université de Pennsylvanie. L'essentiel des réalisations du cabinet Findlay est composé de riches demeures construites pour des Montréalais fortunés. Robert Findlay prit sa retraite en 1941.
