Biography
Henry Sproatt (June 14, 1866– October 4, 1934) was a Canadian architect in the early 20th Century.
Born in Toronto, he trained in Europe and in New York City. He formed a partnership with another celebrated architect, John A. Pearson in 1890 and with Frank Darling in 1893. Sproatt parted ways in 1896 and formed a new firm in 1899 with Ernest Ross Rolph (1871-1958), Sproatt & Rolph.
He was a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He died in Toronto in 1934. The firm continued under Ernest Rolph until 1942 and then taken over by his son Charles Beverley Sproatt (1896-?) from 1958 until 1970 (and who died in 1976).
