Summary:
Andrew Cobb (1876–1943) is synonymous with early twentieth-century architecture in Atlantic Canada. Founder of the Nova Scotia Architectural Association, Cobb designed some of the region's most renowned landmarks, including Kings College and the Dingle Memorial Tower in Halifax, Mount Allison University's Memorial Library in New Brunswick, and the town site of the Newfoundland Power and Paper Company in Corner Brook. With many of his buildings still standing strong as they approach their centenary, the legacy of Andrew Cobb continues today. More than half a century after Cobb's death, author Janet Kitz provides a detailed visual biography of the man behind the buildings.
