History

Architecture firm founded by Walter Norwood Moorhouse (1884-1977) and Allan George (1873-1961) in 1913. Their business was interrupted by WWI, and after returning to Canada from service with the Canadian Army during WWI. Moorhouse persuaded his business partner to invite Cecil C. King to join them in the partnership in late 1919. Both Moorhouse and King had already collaborated on the design of Glenmount Church in 1914, and their new firm of George, Moorhouse & King was remarkably prolific, remaining active until 1935. After the departure of King in 1935 the firm of George & Moorhouse continued to carry out major projects until 1943. Moorhouse retired and later died at Oakville, Ont. on 25 January 1977.
