Biographical history

Peter John Stokes (1926-2013) was born in England and came to Canada during the Second World War as a "war guest" of the sculptor Jacobine Jones. He studied architecture at the University of Toronto (B. Arch. 1953) and has made his career as a restoration architect. From 1958 to 1961, he was a Restoration Architect at Upper Canada Village. His private practice began in 1961, and has included commissions for the preservation of many early Canadian buildings. Over the years, Peter Stokes has received commissions for architectural work and consultation from many parts of Canada. These include: Consultant to National Historic Sites, Ottawa; Consultant to Westmoreland Historical Society, Sackville, NB; the renovation and restoration of the South African Embassy, Ottawa; Consultant for the restoration of Victoria Hall, Cobourg; and the Alberta Hotel, Edmonton. Mr. Stokes has also done consultation work with Maclennan and Associates for projects at Kingston City Hall and the Old Hay Bay Church. He has published several books on conservation architecture, and has been awarded the Heritage Canada Foundation's Community Service Award and the Gabrielle Leger Medal.
