COMPETITIONS

VICTORIA, B.C., North Ward School and South Ward School, 1893. The office of Thomas Hooper was one of 14 architects from the USA and Canada who prepared plans in this competition (Victoria Daily Times, 13 July 1893, 7, descrip. and list of competitors). He submitted two designs, No. 7 and No. 10. The juror, R. Mackay Fripp of Vancouver, stated that his submission No. 7 was "....a good elevation and perspective", but that "...classrooms are badly cut-off from the stairs, which is very risky, and might have fatal results in case of fire". The first premium was jointly awarded to Soule & Day, along with W. Ridgway Wilson.
VICTORIA, B.C., "Cary Castle", the Official Residence of the Lieut. Governor of British Columbia, 1901. Hooper was one of nine architects from British Columbia who submitted a design, and his scheme, signed with the nom de plume "Spero" was awarded Fifth Prize of $50 (Province [Vancouver], 17 Jan. 1901, 1; Peter Cotton, Vice-Regal Mansions of British Columbia, 1981, 70-72). However, the drawings shown in this publication, and erroneously credited to Hooper are, in fact, by the Third Prize winner Cornelius J. Soule (inf. Donald Luxton, Vancouver). The winners were Byrens & Sait, but their proposal was never built, and the B.C. Government later gave the commission to F.M. Rattenbury and Samuel Maclure.
VICTORIA, B.C., High School, Fernwood Road, 1902. Hooper was one of nearly 20 architects who submitted a design for this major educational building, but he also collaborated on a second design with his former assistant and draftsman C. Elwood Watkins His own drawings were awarded the Second Premium in this competition (Victoria Daily Times, 25 Jan. 1902, 4, Letter to the Editor from Thomas Hooper). The winner was F.M. Rattenbury.
VICTORIA, B.C., Carnegie Library, Yates Street at Blanchard Street,1903. Hooper & Watkins were one of 6 architects who submitted a design, but all the entries were rejected by the Committee because they did not comply with the conditions (Victoria Daily Times, 13 June 1903, 1, and 16 June 1903, 3). The commission was later given to Hooper & Watkins in 1904.
VICTORIA, B.C., Exhibition Hall, for the Victoria Agricultural Association, 1908. Five architects submitted designs for the large public building, and Hooper & Watkins were awarded Second Prize of $100 for their design (Daily Colonist [Victoria], 27 March 1908, 2). The winner was David C. Frame.
