Notice biographique
Robert Gage was born in Coleraine, Ireland in or around 1841. He emigrated to Canada in 1852. It is not known where he originally settled but his name appears in the Kingston directory in 1871. Robert Gage produced at least 72 architectural projects from 1870 to 1888 while living in Kingston, Ontario. His best known commission was the Royal Military College in Kingston. He was an architect of all manner of buildings including private dwellings, public buildings, churches and the Hospital for the Insane in Kingston. He left Kingston ca. 1889 and then became a successful architect-engineer who worked in the California desert constructing irrigation canals.
Historique de la conservation
The material in this fonds formerly identified as KAD #35 came from the estate of Ada Spooner who was a relation of Robert Gage. She kept the drawings and books with her throughout her lifetime and thery were donated to Queen's after her death in 1985. Two additional drawings which are attributed to Gage have been described within this fonds but they were received by the University at an earlier date from an unknown donor (KAD #2 and KAD#3).
Portée et contenu
The fonds consists of twenty-five architectural drawings and five architectural books documenting a variety of projects in which Gage was involved in Kingston, Ontario. A number of the unsigned drawings have more recently been attributed to other architects working in the area at the time such as Edward Horsey, William Newlands and William Coverdale, but may have been maintained as a part of Gage's collection of drawings as reference material.
