Notice biographique
George Edwin Osborne Lilley was a photographer born in Kingston in 1918. George served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. Just prior to the end of the war and after the war, he was employed at the National Film Board of Canada where he produced films for foreign distribution, working under John Grierson.
After joining the militia he was, at the same time, actively involved in the public relations role of the Canadian Armed Forces. He served as Public Information Officer from 1955-1974. He retired from the Armed Forces in 1974. Mr. Lilley joined Transport Canada as Public Affairs Officer. He was stationed with the Canadian Coast Guard in Toronto.
Mr. Lilley had been interested in photography from an early age. For many years he was a freelance photographer in Kingston. His photographic work involved news photography, documentaries, advertising and promotional work. As far as the news side of photographic gathering is concerned, Mr. Lilley was under contract to provide news photographs for the Kingston Whig-Standard, the Toronto Telegram, the Globe and Mail, the Ottawa Journal, the Montreal Star, Montreal Gazette, the Associated Press, the United Press, Time-Life Fortune, and some European newspapers. He passed away on 22 November 2003.

Note générale
Located on the corner of Wellington and Brock Streets, this corner building was built in 1842 by architect George Browne for William Henry Wilson. The first storey consists of a series of segmental arches supporting the upper floors of the building. During the 1950's alterations were made by filling in the lower portion of the arches with stone and glazing the upper portions. However, in the 1970's the directors of Victoria and Grey Trust decided to restore the building to its original classic appearance by reinstating the arches. Entranceways are recessed and a curved window entirely without glaze now emphasizes the rounded corner of the structure. (Information taken from page 83 of 'Kingston Splendid Heritage' by Mikos).
