ANGUS, Andrew Edward (1895-1956) was active in Port Arthur, Ont. from 1924 until his death there in early 1956. Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, he was educated at Robert Gordon College and at the Aberdeen School of Architecture where he graduated with a diploma in 1920. He came to Canada in 1923 and worked in the office of C.D. Howe Co., who were engineers and designers of many important grain elevator structures at the Lakehead which still stand today. Angus opened his own office in Port Arthur in 1931 and designed several educational, institutional and public buildings there. After 1950 his best known works include Knox United Church, Oliver Road Presbyterian Church, the Children's Wing at St. Joseph's Hospital, and St. Paul's United Church Youth Memorial Centre. Angus died in Port Arthur on 21 January 1956, and his practise was taken over by Lynden Y. McIntosh of Port Arthur (obituary in the News Chronicle [Port Arthur], 23 Jan. 1956, 1; Times Journal [Fort William] 23 Jan. 1956, 1 & 2; inf. Ont. Association of Architects)
