Hogle, Morley W., 1870-1920
1870-1920
Morley W. Hogle was born in 1870, in Phillipsburg, Quebec.
As an architect, he trained under Sir Andrew Thomas Taylor. There he met his future professional partner Huntly Ward Davis. They created the firm Taylor, Hogle & Davis and they collaborated on the design of some McGill University buildings, including the Macdonald-Stewart (1893) and Macdonald-Harrington (1896-1897) pavilions.
In 1904, Taylor returned to England. They continued as a firm called Hogle and Davis. With his partner, he designed numerous bank buildings, including those for the Merchants' Bank in the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, as well as for the Bank of Montreal (1904) and the Bank of Toronto (1911) in Montreal. The two men also designed several Montreal bourgeois residences, such as the home of lawyer Charles Glass Greenshields.
In 1899, he married Nettie Elizabeth McKee. He died on January 30, 1920, in Westmount, Quebec.
