about

At the age of 26, William Critchlow Harris left the Maritimes for the first time. Like many Islanders of the era, he moved to Winnipeg where westward expansion was fuelling a building boom that contrasted the faltering Atlantic economy. This idealism was so widespread that an atlas of PEI published in 1880 contained a map of Manitoba with the caption: “Go West, young man!”

Harris’ big opportunity came with a public competition for the design of Winnipeg’s new city hall. Though debate in city council led to a dead heat between Harris’ plan and another, the tie-breaking vote was cast by Mayor Alexander McMicken for the design by Barber and Barber. Soon after, the economic depression reached the Prairies, and Harris wrote home that the situation had left him “almost stunned and desperately blue in his lonely room.” Later that year he returned to Prince Edward Island.
