Badgley, Charles Grayum | Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada

BADGLEY, Charles Grayum (1867-1915) of Seattle, Wash. executed a refined Collegiate Gothic design for the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Convent, West 29th Avenue at Wallace Street, Point Grey, VANCOUVER, B.C. in 1911-12 (C.R., xxvi, 20 Sept. 1911, 60; Province [Vancouver], 7 Feb. 1912, 11, illus. & descrip.; 15 June 1912, 33, descrip.; H. Kalman, Exploring Vancouver, 1993, 175, illus.).
Badgley was born in Marshall, Illinois on 20 June 1867 and trained in the office of J.M. Freese, an architect in Columbus, Ohio, in 1890-91. He moved to Boston in 1892 and studied architecture at Massachusetts Inst. of Technology in Cambridge for three years, but it appears that he did not graduate from the School. He was active as an architect in Fairmont, West Virginia in 1904-07, but he moved to Seattle in late 1907 and worked there as an architect until his death on 27 March 1915 (death notice Seattle Star, 30 March 1915, 6).
