DAY, John Charles (1885-1941) was born in London, England and articled with the talented Edwardian architect Charles E. Mallows, a partner in the London firm of Mallows & Grocock. He emigrated to Canada in 1906 and formed a partnership in 1912 with John E. Parr and John C. MacKenzie (see list of works under Parr, MacKenzie & Day). Their office was dissolved in April 1915 (The Province [Vancouver], 7 April 1915, 15). After WWI, J.C. Day opened his own office in Vancouver in 1920 and two years later formed a partnership with Theodore Korner. This office was dissolved in late 1925 and Day continued to work under his own name until his death in Vancouver on 12 November 1941 (obituary in The Sun [Vancouver], 14 Nov. 1941, 21; D. Luxton, Building the West: The Early Architects of British Columbia, 2003,460-1, 497)
