Thomas Fuller was the father of Canada's national architectural identity. As the country's chief architect, he was instrumental in shaping the form of public buildings at a time when the transcontinental railway was connecting Canada from coast to coast, creating the need for new public structures that established a federal presence in the far-flung corners of this massive and wild land.
Thomas Fuller: Architect for a Nation is the first attempt to tell his story and catalogue his entire architectural output--from formative years in the staid and elegant Georgian city of Bath, England, to Canada's most influential arhictect of his age--and beyond.
