Artist unknown, ca. 1912. (Ottawa City Archives, CA7633) Figure 1 (right). Chateau Frontenac Hotel, Quebec City, 1892-93; Bruce Price, architect. (CP Corporate Archives, A-4989) TX ~h the construction of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel in 1892-93 on the heights of r r Quebec City (figure 1), American architect Bruce Price (1845-1903) introduced the chateau style to Canada. Built for the Canadian Pacific Railway, the monumental hotel estab­ lished a precedent for a series of distinctive railway hotels across the country that served to as­ sociate the style with nationalist sentiment well into the 20th century.1 The prolonged life of the chateau style was not sustained by the CPR, however; the company completed its last chateauesque hotel in 1908, just as the mode was being embraced by the CPR's chief com­ petitor, the Grand Trunk Railway. How the chateau style came to be adopted by the GTR, and how it was utilized in three major hotels- the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa, the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, and the Macdonald Hotel in Edmonton -was closely related to the background and rise to prominence of the architects, Montreal natives George Allan Ross (1879-1946) and David Huron MacFarlane (1875-1950). According to Lovell's Montreal City Directory, 1900-01, George Ross2 worked as a draughtsman in the Montreal offices of the GTR, which was probably his first training in ar­ chitecture, and possibly a consideration when his firm later obtained the contracts for the GTR hotels.
