History
Douglas Bruce Brown was born in Toronto in 1932. His father was the architect F. Bruce Brown. He attended Whitney Junior Public School in Toronto (which was within walking distance from his home at 40 Bennington Heights Drive, a house his father, Francis Bruce Brown, designed) and secondary school at the University of Toronto Schools. He graduated with his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto in 1958 and joined his father’s firm Bruce Brown & Brisley Architects. In 1962 he was admitted to partnership in the firm and the name changed to Brown, Brisley & Brown Architects. Following the retirement of his father and E.F. Ross Brisley in 1972, Douglas B. Brown became sole proprietor of the firm from 1973 to 1980. In 1981 Brown was joined by partners Fred W. Beck and Murray R. Ross and the name of the firm changed to Brown, Beck & Ross Architects (1981-2012).
