George Wallace Gouinlock (August 1, 1861 – February 13, 1932) was a prominent Canadian architect. Gouinlock practiced mostly in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, including several designated buildings at Exhibition Place.
His son George Roper Gouinlock (1896–1979) also practised architecture. Son Robert Watson Gouinlock (1892-1966) was a Captain with the Canadian Engineers and served in World War I.[1] Robert was a civil engineer.
Gouinlock was born in 1861 in Paris, Ontario to Walter and Elizabeth Gouinlock.[2] Gouinlock trained in various cities (including Hamilton, Chicago and Milwaukee) towards becoming an architect.[3] He later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba[4] as a junior architect with Barber, Bowes & Barber.[3] He came back to Toronto in 1888 and began a partnership with architect Francis S. Baker (as Gouinlock & Baker)[5] from 1888 to 1890.[3]
The bulk of Gouinlock's work was in Toronto. In 1895, he was Chair of the Toronto Society of Architects[6] and President of the Ontario Association of Architects in 1909.[3] Gouinlock retired in 1927.
Gouinlock married Georgina Watson in 1889[2] and had two sons George Roper and Robert Watson, and a daughter, Laura Huntington (1890-1982)[7]
Gouinlock died on February 13, 1932, and is buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto.[4]
