ARNOLD, Thomas (1838-1912) of London, England prepared a design for the SAILOR'S HOME, Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1889; his original plans survive in the New Brunswick Museum (MacBeth Papers, Shelf 42, Folder 1, Item 25). He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and studied as a pupil there under the City Architect David Cousin.
