Notable Architects And Builders In Victoria History
Eric Charlesworth Clarkson (1895-1977)
Eric Charlesworth Clarkson (1895-1977) came to Victoria in and worked as an assistant to architect Samuel Maclure. After Samuel Maclure’s death in 1929, Eric Clarkson opened his own practice in Victoria, which he maintained until 1950, when he took a position as a staff architect with the provincial government Department of Public Works. He retired in 1964.
Here is a partial listing of his projects.
We have included two Eric Charlesworth Clarkson projects on this website so far:
1001 Wharf Street, built for the Army Navy & Air Force Veterans club.
1001 Wharf Street was built for the Army, Navy & Air Force Veterans. It is now occupied by Nautical Nellie’s Restaurant.
