TALBOT, Eugene Henri (1905 - c. 1986) , was born in Quebec City, P.Q. on 27 October 1905, and was the son of the architect Eugene Michel Talbot of Quebec City, and may have been persuaded to pursue a career in architecture by his father, who died in 1917. The son E. Henri studied architecture at the local Ecole des Beaux Arts in that city and graduated in 1929. He was active in the Province of Quebec from 1930 until at least 1960, and he also became a member of the Ontario Assoc. of Architects in order to carry out commissions in that province, but his membership in that organization lapsed in December 1948. He was also in a brief partnership with Auguste Martineau (see list of works under Martineau & Talbot). Talbot executed commissions for educational, ecclesiastical, industrial and residential projects, including more than a dozen major works in the town of Giffard, Que.. The Archives Nationales du Quebec on the campus of Laval University in Quebec City holds a large collection of drawings by his office prepared between 1930 and 1986.
