Einzelstück 129 - [Proposed Brick Veneer Residence]

John C. Newlands, architect, was born in Kingston on 5 October 1884 and trained in his father's office from 1902 to 1910. He was invited by his father to become a full partner in the Kingston firm of William Newlands & Son in 1910, and continued to work there until 1926 when his father died. John C. then began to practise under his own name in late 1926 and remained active until after 1950. During the Depression, he worked briefly for Colin Drever, and in 1932 both he and J. Arnold Thomson of Belleville, Ont. announced an affiliation or partnership, with dual offices in both Kingston and Belleville (Kingston Whig-Standard, 3 Feb. 1932, 3, advert.). Newlands then continued to operate his own office in Kingston. He later died there on 26 February 1958
