History
William Tinniswood Dalton was an architect and mountain-climbing enthusiast. Born in England, William moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1881, where he worked with architects such as Charles Osborne Wickenden. He married Frances Mary Walton in 1881 and the two lived in Winnipeg throughout most of the 1880s. When Charles Wickenden moved to Vancouver about 1889, William and his family also went to Vancouver, and he worked as a draughtsman with Wickenden until 1893.
In 1902, he formed a firm with Sydney Eveleigh, responsible for designing several commercial buildings and public schools. Throughout his time living in Vancouver, William was an active mountaineer with the Alpine Club of Canada and often climbed with his son, Arthur who was also an early mountaineer enthusiast.
