SINCENNES, Albert (1874-1937) was born in Montreal on 13 January 1874 and graduated from St. Jean Baptiste College. He served an apprenticeship in a Boston architectural office then returned to Montreal in 1896 and formed a partnership with Elzear Courval ( Montreal Daily Star, 23 July 1896, 8). They worked together for five years until 1901. In 1903 he was appointed staff architect for the Intercolonial Railway in Moncton and spent the next fifteen years there designing stations and service buildings for the railway, as well as practising independently. In 1915 he prepared a competent Beaux-Arts design for the City Hall in Moncton (now the Moncton Museum). After 1916 he returned to Montreal to work as an architect for the Water Board of the City of Montreal and later resumed his private practice. He died in Montreal on 7 January 1937 (obit.
