COTE, Philippe (1907-1990), architect of Quebec City, Que. who was born there on 30 September 1907. He was educated at local Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Quebec City from 1926 until his graduation in 1930, and the following year he joined the Province of Quebec Association of Architects. In 1932, he was invited to join in a partnership with E. George Rousseau, as Rousseau & Cote, Architects, but after 1937 Cote worked under his own name for the next 35 years until 1972. He designed a variety of ecclesiastical, commercial, educational, institutional and residential works in Quebec City and in southern Quebec. He resigned from the P.Q.A.A. in 1976, and later died in Quebec in 1990. The Archives de Quebec in Sainte-Foy holds an extensive collection of original drawings by Cote documenting 182 projects dating from 1931 to 1972 (inf.
