WILSON, James Lundie (or Lundy) (1848-1930), a prolific and remarkably successful architect active in Chatham, Ontario where his name is associated with over 170 projects erected in towns and villages throughout southwestern Ontario. He was active in the following offices:
James L. Wilson, Architect, Chatham, 1886-1895
James L. Wilson & Son, Architects, Chatham 1896-1907 (with his son James W. Wilson)
J. L. Wilson & Son & Arnold, Architects, Chatham, 1907-1912 (with his son James W. Wilson and Everett B. Arnold)
J.L. Wilson, Fairgrove, Michigan 1912- c. 1914 .
Wilson was born in North Dumfries Township, Waterloo County, on 9 March 1848 and was educated at Chatham Collegiate Institute, and at Canada Business College in Chatham. A biography of Wilson published in 1915 has shed new light on his early career (biog. in Who’s Who & Why in Canada, 1915-16, 1265-66). He worked as a carpenter and joiner in Brantford, Ont. (in 1869-72), in Forest, Ont. (in 1872-76), and in Chatham (in 1876 to 1886), gaining extensive experience in the building trades. In 1886, he opened his own office as an architect in Chatham, and he was joined by his son James William Wilson who he had trained. In 1896 his son was made a full partner in the new firm of J.L. Wilson & Son, Architects; they in turn were joined by another architect Everett B. Arnold in 1907, and their firm continued to generate dozens of designs for buildings in western Ontario between 1907 and 1909.
Wilson employed a variety of fashionable styles for his work. He favoured the Queen Anne style for many of his designs for large private residences, and he used a picturesque Romanesque Revival style for his ecclesiastical works that included Thamesville Methodist Church, 1898, and North Street Methodist Church, Goderich, 1905-06. For his institutional work, he was among the first to introduce a formal classical style with landmarks such as the Carnegie Library, Chatham (1902). He also obtained commissions through the process of participation in architectural competitions. In 1905, the firm of J.L. Wilson & Son entered the competition for the new Methodist Church in Leamington, Ont., and their winning design was selected over other submissions sent in by architects from Detroit, London, Sarnia, Windsor and Chatham (Chatham Daily Planet, 25 Feb. 1905, 4, report on the competition).
In 1909, for unknown reasons, his son James W. decided to leave Ontario and move to Fairgrove in central Michigan (near Bay City). The following year, in 1910, E.B. Arnold moved to Detroit and continued to practise there, and in 1911, James L. Wilson also left Ontario to join his son in Fairgrove, Mich. This decision effectively terminated the architectural activity of the Wilson family in Canada, and almost no references can be found to their works in Ontario after 1912. J.L. Wilson decided to remain in Michigan for the duration of his career, and may have continued to practise there with his son before WWI.
Wilson died in Fairgrove, Michigan on 24 March 1930 at the age of 85 years (obituary Chatham Daily News, 26 March 1930; Chatham Daily Planet, 26 March 1930, 3; Contract Record [Toronto], xliv, 2 April 1930, 410). A photographic portrait of Wilson can be found on p. 1266 of Who’s Who & Why in Canada, 1915-16. An essay on the career and work of J.L. Wilson & Son, Architects, written by Peter D. Charles, was published in a book illustrating the architectural heritage of Chatham, entitled At The Forks: An Architectural Book on the City of Chatham, 1979.
