Andrew Oswald Wilson (1866–1950), known professionally as A. Oswald Wilson,[2] was an early-20th-century Western Australian architect.[3] Born and trained as a carpenter in Victoria, he moved first to Perth and then to the Eastern Goldfields (in December 1899[4][5]), where he worked for Murdock McKay Hopkins.[3] He was president of the Mechanics' Literary and Debating Society (also known as the Boulder Literary Society) in Boulder from 1904[6] to 1908,[7][2] as well as active in the Boulder Benevolent Society.[8] One of his best-known buildings is the Boulder town hall for which he submitted designs in 1907.[9] In December 1908,[4] he moved back to Perth and practised from Forrest Chambers (at 62 St George's Terrace).[3]
On 17 December 1910, aged 44, he married May Livingstone in Perth,[3][10] and in 1917 they left Australia for England, where Wilson enlisted in the Army.[3]
Wilson died on 19 June 1950 at St Andrew's Hospital in Melbourne.[3][10] He was 83.[11]
