Adamson Associates


Adamson Associates is a Toronto-based architectural firm founded in 1934. It also has affiliated offices in Vancouver, Los Angeles, New York and London.
Gordon Sinclair Adamson started the firm in 1934 after working for a number of other architects, as well as noted Henry Sproatt and Ernest Ross Rolph. He worked briefly with Earle Morgan, but most of his practice was on his own or with associates. His practice was mainly residential, commercial, and industrial projects in Ontario. Adamson retired in 1971.
Since 1934 the firm has operated under several names, including G.S. Adamson, Adamson and Morgan, then as Gordon S. Adamson & Associates. Today it is known as Adamson Associates.
The firm's main offices in Toronto are located at 401 Wellington Street West, formerly McGregor Socks factory.
