{{EngvarB|date=January 2017}}{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2017}}Lily Inglis (1926-2010[1]) was a Canadian architect. Inglis was born in Milan, Italy and received her education in England. She moved to Canada, and became involved in the preservation of historic buildings in Kingston, Ontario.[2] She was a partner in Inglis and Downey Architects, Inc.[3]

Life and career

Inglis was raised as a child in Milan, Italy, where she became interested in architecture. She would be confined to her bed due to an illness, and there she began drawing and constructing 3-D miniature buildings from paper. At age 12, her parents sent her to England (in order to protect her from the Nazis), and she attended a British boarding school. Eventually she would go on to be an apprentice in Cheltenham before attending the University of Edinburgh for architecture. In 1953, she married Edinburgh psychologist James Inglis. In London, she started her own architectural firm and practiced there for six years. In the evening, she studied landscape design.[3]

In 1959, Inglis and her husband moved to Kingston, Ontario. There, she found inspiration in the stone architecture of the city and decided to explore building preservation by utilizing the stone style of Kingston in her own designs, paying homage. She also worked to redesign heritage buildings for contemporary use and conservation.[3] Some of her notable projects include the Kingston Public Library, Chez Piggy restaurant, the Kingston Brew Pub and the Wolf Island ferry terminal.[4]

Notable awards

  • Fellow, Royal Architectural Institute of Canada[3]
