KAYLL, Swinburne Annandale (1892-1962) was active in Vancouver from 1919, yet only a few references to his work completed after 1945 can be found. Born in Middlechurch, Manitoba on 17 June 1892 he moved to the West Coast and studied under William F. Gardiner in 1909, then assisted in the office of R. Mackay Fripp before leaving Canada in 1912 or 1913 to enroll in courses at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He served with the Royal Canadian Engineers during WWI then returned to Vancouver to commence practise in October 1919. He was in partnership with Max B. Downing from 1920 to 1924 (see list of works under Downing & Kayll) and after WWII he briefly collaborated with William K. Noppe. Kayll died in Vancouver on 29 October 1962 (death notice in The Sun [Vancouver], 31 October 1962, 34; D. Luxton, Building the West: The Early Architects of British Columbia, 2003, 470-1, 507; inf.
