Biographical history
Born in London, Ontario, Harold Robert Little graduated with a B.Sc. Degree in architecture from McGill University in 1910.
He moved to Calgary where he was engaged in large-scale construction work, then returned to Montreal to take charge of the Architectural Department of the Merchants Bank of Canada head office. In 1922 the bank was absorbed by the Bank of Montreal and Harold Lawson invited him to form a new partnership. During the next 25 years, they obtained major commissions for commercial, industrial, residential and institutional works in Montreal and southern Quebec.
Mr. Little held the position of Lecturer on Building Construction at the School of Architecture at McGill University and in 1935 submitted an entry under his own name in the competition for a new gymnasium, pool and outdoor stadium, on Pine Avenue, McGill University, for which he received the Third Prize.
