COMPETITIONS
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND. Municipal City Hall, 1881. Taylor collaborated with Henry Hall of London to submit an entry in this two stage competition. More than 100 entries were sent in by architects from England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Germany. The distinguished architect Charles Edward Barry selected eight finalists, including an elaborate Renaissance Revival design submitted by Hall & Taylor which was awarded Second Premium (Building News [London], xliii, 14 July 1882, 37-8, descrip.; 6 Oct. 1882, 414, descrip. & plate illus.; 20 Oct. 1882, 474 and plate illus.; British Architect [London], xviii, 8 Sept. 1882, 429, descrip. & plate illus.: Canadian Magazine of Science & Industrial Arts [Montreal], June 1881, 176-8, illus. & descrip.; S.

Turner of London was declared the winner.
TORONTO, ONT., City Hall & Court House, 1885. During the first round of this civic competition, the Montreal firm of Taylor, Gordon & Bousfield competed against nearly 50 other architects from the United States and Canada for this important public building (Globe [Toronto], 16 March 1886, 8, list of competitors). All the entries were later set aside and a second competition of seven finalists was called in late 1886. Taylor complained publicly about the mismanagement of the first round and the flawed judging process, and refused to enter the second round. The eventual winner of the second competition was Edward J. Lennox.
