Biography

Gouinlock was born in 1861 in Paris, Ontario to Walter and Elizabeth Gouinlock.[1] Gouinlock trained in various cities (including Hamilton, Chicago and Milwaukee) towards becoming an architect.[2] He later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba[3] as a junior architect with Barber, Bowes & Barber.[2] He came back to Toronto in 1888 and began a partnership with architect Francis S. Baker (as Gouinlock & Baker)[4] from 1888 to 1890.[2]

The bulk of Gouinlock's work was in Toronto. In 1895, he was Chair of the Toronto Society of Architects[5] and President of the Ontario Association of Architects in 1909.[2] Gouinlock retired in 1927.

Gouinlock married Georgina Watson in 1889[1] and had two sons George Roper and Robert W., and a daughter, Laura H.[6]

Gouinlock died on February 13, 1932, and is buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.[3]

George Wallace's son George Roper Gouinlock (1896-1979) was also an architect, whom with Hugh L. Allward (1899-1971) formed the Allward and Gouinlock partnership in 1935.[7] Allward was the son of sculptor Walter Allward and great-grandfather of Port Perry based landscape architect Hugh Allward.[8]
