Trevor Garwood-Jones dead

First Published:

The man who designed many of Hamilton’s most prominent landmarks has died.

Trevor Garwood-Jones died Monday of a heart attack – just days short of his 83rd birthday. 

Hamilton Place, St Peter’s Hospital and the Juravinski Cancer Centre were among the more than 100 buildings he worked on during his 50-year career.
He was also involved with recent renovations to Hamilton city hall.
Mayor Bob Bratina says “I don’t think we will ever see any of his buildings knocked down.”
