Thorne, Charles Robson | Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada

THORNE, Charles Robson (1882-1914) trained in the branch office of Elliot & Hopson in Sydney, N.S. (Sydney Record, 1 March 1901, 5). In 1902 he moved back to his home town of Dartmouth, N.S. and worked as a draftsman and artist before opening his office there in 1908. In 1912 he moved to Halifax and potentially could have developed a successful career there had it not been for his untimely death in Halifax on 7 February 1914 at the age of 32 years (obituary Acadian Recorder [Halifax], 7 Feb. 1914, 3; Evening Mail [Halifax], 7 Feb. 1914, 2; biog. in M.
