GREEN, Frederick Walter (c. 1821-1877) was noted as an architect, City Surveyor & Engineer in Victoria, B.C. who designed his own residence in 1862, an eccentric castle-like structure which he occupied for two years, and which later became the mansion of George H. Cary, the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, in 1864, and was then dubbed “Cary's Castle”. Just two years later, in 1865, Green had formed a partnership with William Oakley, as Green & Oakley. They petitioned the government asking to be considered as the architects for major additions to the Castle in 1865, but they were passed over and the commission was handed to Wright & Sanders, who transformed the original house into a Gothic Revival landmark (Peter Cotton, Vice-Regal Mansions, 1981, 48). The entire complex burned in May 1899. Green continued to work in the Victoria area as surveyor and civil engineer until at least 1871. He later died in Victoria on 30 October 1877 (biog. D. Luxton, Building The West: The Early Architects of British Columbia, 2003, 48 and 502-03)
