A.M. Calderon is top right
Continuing our review of Canadian Architects today we discover Alfred Merigon Calderon (1861-1936). Calderon was born in England in. He was educated at Sevenoaks in Kent, the London University College School, and at the Royal Academy in London. He apprenticed with George E. Street in 1877. Next, he worked with Charles J. Ferguson. In 1887 he emigrated to Ottawa. He formed a partnership with King M. Arnoldi before opening his own practice. In 1902 he moved to the United States then returned to Canada in 1906 this time in Edmonton. After a couple of brief partnerships, he returned to working on his own. He worked in Alberta until 1930 then moved to British Columbia – where he is buried.

The group photo that shows A.M.Calderon interests me. It is on the page showing his wonderful work. May I post this photograph, along with a link to this page, in a small private Facebook group called “Jasper Alberta In The Good Old Days – A place to share your memories.” for me , Mr. Calderon’s buildings in Jasper are wonderful and have always imparted a striking mystique to the town.
