Talk:William Tuff Whiteway

St. John's Courthouse
Could someone familiar with this architect check the sourcing of the article's attribution of this building to Whiteway? According to the data in the Canadian Register of Historic Places, the architect of the courthouse was William H. Greene, a local Newfoundlander. Deor (talk) 17:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I created the article and the passage in question. The only on-line source is . I have a second source, a book on early BC architects, Building the West by Donald Luxton. Luxton states this as part of an article about Whiteway's career, discussing the fact that he moved his practice geographically quite often. Both Luxton and the "historicplaces" website refer to an eight-year-lag between awarding the commission and actual construction, but oddly, the two sources conflict over who won the commission. Both of my sources are solid sources, but then again, "historicplaces" is a solid source too. One possibility is that both architects were involved. How about wording along the line of "Sources differ regarding...". Canadian2006 (talk) 00:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
