COMPETITIONS
WESTERN ASSURANCE CO., Wellington Street East at Scott Street, office block, 1878. Frank Darling was one of at least 6 architects who submitted a design for this large commercial project, and he exhibited his design at the Ontario Society of Artists exhibition in 1879. The winner was Richard A. Waite of Buffalo, N.Y.
TORONTO, ONT., Provincial Parliament Buildings, Queen's Park, 1880-81. Sixteen entries were received during the First Stage of this important competition in October 1880. The scheme by Darling & Curry, designed in a thirteenth century Gothic style and signed 'October' , was judged to be the best of the non-premiated designs (Mail [Toronto], 4 Dec. 1880, 2, descrip.). It was '......a very artistic design, displaying a novelty of conception in plans and much picturesqueness in elevation, but it's authors careless disregard for limit of cost is an unfortunate circumstance' (OA, RG15, Box E1, Vol. 17, Envelope 1, Report of the Jury). In March of 1881 they were asked to revise their plans and resubmit their scheme along with five other competitors, but the provincial government later rejected all of the schemes. Darling's drawings survive and can be found at the National Archives in Ottawa (NAC, National Map Coll., 82303/34, Dwgs. 1 to 3). It was not until 1887 that Darling was offered compensation by the provincial government for his drawings (Free Press [London], 1 April 1887, 6)
Design for a House of Moderate Cost, 1889, by Darling & Curry (C.A.B., ii, June 1889, illus. plate)
TORONTO, ONT., Board of Trade Building, Yonge Street at Front Street, 1889. Under the pseudonym of 'Utility', Darling & Curry submitted a restrained Romanesque Revival design (C.A.B., ii, March 1889, 28, descrip.; April 1889, plate illus.). Their scheme placed among the four finalists but the commission was eventually awarded to James & James of New York City.
TORONTO, ONT., Union Station, Front Street West, 1904. Darling & Pearson were one of three Toronto architectural firms invited to submit a design for this $3 million dollar project (Toronto Daily Star, 14 Nov. 1904, 1). The project was later handed to Carrere & Hastings of New York City in 1907, but their scheme was never built.
MONTREAL, QUE., Metropolitan Bank, 1904. Darling & Pearson exhibited a 'competition sketch' for this building at the Ontario Association of Architects Exhibit (C.A.B., xvii, Jan. 1904, 16)
OTTAWA, ONT., Departmental & Justice Buildings, 1907. From the thirty entries submitted, the scheme by Darling & Pearson scored highly, and received Second Prize of $4,000. Their scheme was '......a vigorous and scholarly design, irregular in plan, and conspicuous for the qualities which the first prize design lacks' (C.A.B., xx, Sept. 1907, 184). The Montreal firm of E. & W.S. Maxwell received First Premium, but the project was never built.
REGINA, SASK., Provincial Legislative Buildings, 1907-08. Seven competitors from the United States and Canada were invited to submit drawings for this project. Darling & Pearson proposed a refined and carefully proportioned Beaux-Arts complex but their design was set aside and again, as in the previous competition in Ottawa, the Montreal firm of E. & W.S. Maxwell was awarded First Prize (Const., i, Oct. 1907, 39; Saskatchewan, Sessional Papers, Annual Report of the Dept. of Public Works, 1907-08, 155-66, descrip.). The drawings by Darling & Pearson survive (Saskatchewan Archives Board, Regina, Drawings Coll.)
REGINA, SASK., Civic Hospital, 14th Avenue, 1908. The Toronto firm of Darling & Pearson was one of 8 architectural offices from the USA and Canada who were invited to submit plans for this large commission (Leader [Regina], 12 May 1908, 8). Their design was set aside in favour of the winning scheme by Storey & Van Egmond of Regina.
