GAULD, James Alexander (1859-1932), born in London, Ont. on 22 September 1859, and active in that city from 1893 until after 1900 when he moved to Winnipeg, Man. Only a few references to his work as an architect in Manitoba have been found during this period, as he was employed in the engineering department of the Canadian Pacific Railway western shops, and worked as a surveyor with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. From 1920 until his retirement in 1929 he was employed in the Building Inspector's Dept., and Freight Car Repair Department at the Transcona shops of the Canadian National Railway. Gauld died in Winnipeg on 20 March 1932 (obituary Winnipeg Daily Tribune, 21 March 1932, 3; inf. Murray Peterson, City of Winnipeg)
