HARGREAVES, Henry (1879-1951), active in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan from 1922 to c. 1935, either under his own name, or in association with Norman L. Thompson. Hargreaves was born in Ilkley, Co. Yorkshire, England on 4 October 1879, and articled with his father Charles H. Hargreaves from 1894 to 1900. He then opened his own office in 1902 in Bradford, Yorkshire and practised there until 1907. After emigrating to Canada in 1912, he settled in Moose Jaw where he was employed as a draftsman for the local architectural firm of Reilly, Dawson, Hancock & Reilly. During WWI he worked for two years for William Cowlin & Son, Engineers & Contractors as an estimator and superintendent. In January 1919 he joined Rogers Lumber Yard in Moose Jaw as a draftsman and quantity surveyor, but later opened his own office in Moose Jaw in 1921. During the next decade, he completed works under his own name, but he also collaborated on several commissions with another Moose Jaw architect, Norman L. Thompson, who had his own practise in Saskatoon before WWI. Hargreaves continued to live and work in Moose Jaw until 1939 when he moved to Toronto. In 1948 he relocated to southern British Columbia and later died at Langford, B.C. on 30 April 1951 (death notice Victoria Daily Times, 30 April 1951, 21; inf. Gordon Fulton, Ottawa)
