TURNBULL, Alexander Drummond (1875-1913), active in Red Deer, Alberta in 1912-13 as an architect and civil engineer. In 1912 he designed a large three storey addition to the Sisters of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Convent in Red Deer, 1912-13. In early 1913 he was one of 39 architects from across Canada who submitted a design in the national competition for the new City Hall at Winnipeg (City of Winnipeg Archives, Council Communications, 1913, Box A 169, Item 9741, list of entrants). He was not among the five finalists, and the First Premium was later awarded to Clemesha & Portnall of Regina. Turnbull's career ended abruptly with his untimely death on 29 March 1913 at the age of 37 years (obituary Red Deer News, 9 April 1913, 1).
