MACE, Thomas Henry (1888-1969), architect of Montreal, Quebec and active in the firm of Luke, Little & Mace, Architects from June 1946 to December 1949. He was born in Montreal on 18 February 1888 and received his primary school education there. Mace moved to Boston, Mass. in 1910 and studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He graduated in 1913 and received the prestigious Perkins Travelling Fellowship in Architecture (Gazette [Montreal], 5 June 1913, 1).
He later returned to Montreal and joined the Province of Quebec Association of Architects in 1935, and became a junior partner in the successful Montreal firm of Fetherstonhaugh & Durnford from 1935 to 1945. In June 1946 he was invited by Morley C. Luke to become a full partner in their own firm of Luke & Little, Architects, and Mace remained with that office until December 1949 (see list of works under Luke, Little & Mace). It is unclear why he left this successful partnership, but by 1952 he was working in the office of A. Leslie Perry. Mace resigned from the P.Q.A.A. in 1958 and later died in St. Petersburg, Florida on 1 December 1969 (death notice St. Petersburg Times, 4 Dec. 1969, Section B, p. 13; inf. P.Q.A.A., Montreal).
