Item description from seller

Neuware - Beginning his career as an independent architect in the mid-1870s, Frank Darling came to prominence as the principal of Darling & Pearson Architects, designing a plethora of delightful bank buildings in the early twentieth century. Darling’s work aligned with the national ambitions of his clients and gave shape to Britain’s global imperial project on Canadian soil.In Toronto Edwardian David Winterton positions Darling as a leading architectural figure of the era. He demonstrates that the Canadian Edwardian Grand Manner was not merely an architectural interlude: it was pivotal to the development of Canada’s cultural identity and of the possibility of a national architecture in the early twentieth century. Darling was the first Canadian architect with a truly national presence, with built projects in every province – over 360 known buildings – ranging from elaborate urban designs to prefabricated banks that rose up in many towns and villages west of Lake Superior. Winterton has drawn from institutional archives and consulted with local historians, heritage professionals, and scholars to meticulously reconstruct the story of Frank Darling and his work. First exploring biographical, cultural, and patronage contexts, then focusing on the design and construction of fine houses, academic buildings, banks, and even the country’s first skyscrapers, Toronto Edwardian features new and previously unpublished photographs that illuminate the firm’s considerable influence and provide a visual record of Darling’s approach to style.Toronto Edwardian richly illustrates the breadth of Darling’s architectural creation and compellingly articulates the Edwardian period’s importance to Canadian architecture.…
