Title |
The Civil Architecture of John Ostell
|
Abstract |
The British-born John Ostell (1813-1892) emigrated to Montreal in 1834. He was the city's most important architect between 1836 and 1859. Among the many buildings he designed were McGill University's Arts Building (1839-1843), the High School of Montreal (1845), the Protestant Orphan Asylum (1848), and St. Ann's Church (1853), and the Court House (1850-1856). In 1856 Ostell abandoned architecture for a successful doors and window sashes and joinery manufacturing business he had established in 1852 at the St. Gabriel Locks along the Lachine Canal. The author focuses on three of Ostell's most important extant buildings: the Custom House, 1836; the Arts Building, McGill, 1839-1843 and the Court House, 1850-1856.
