KING, William (1849- c. 1912) maintained an office in Revelstoke, B.C. where his name was associated with the design of two provincial court house buildings in nearby towns, one in Grand Forks, and the other in Kaslo. Born in the United States in May 1849, he emigrated to Canada in 1895 and may have lived and worked elsewhere in Canada before moving to the B.C. Interior in 1909. No information has been found on his activity after 1912 (inf. Canada, Census for 1911, B.C. - Revelstoke; D. Luxton, Building the West: The Early Architects of British Columbia, 2003, 472, 508)
