Kelvin Crawford Stanley

[1][2][3] Kelvin Crawford Stanley was born in 1919 and obtained a degree in architecture from the University of Manitoba in 1945.

Stanley joined the Alberta Association of Architects in 1946 and continued to work in Edmonton until the mid 1960s.

[8] Architect David Murray described the Paramount Theatre as "one of the most sophisticated International Style modern buildings constructed in [Edmonton] at the time," going on to explain that the theater "displays many of the stylistic devices used at the time: expensive materials -- limestone, marble, and granite, asymmetrical composition, strong vertical sign element contrasted with the horizontal angled canopy, expressionistic ground floor exposed columns and zigzag entrance planning.

"[9] The Baker Clinic at 10004 105 Street in Edmonton, the former Minor Type A building of the Griesbach Quartermaster Stores at 14530 112 Street, and the Edmonton City Hall of 1957 (which has since been demolished) were all designed by Dewar Stanley Stevenson, of which Kelvin Crawford Stanley was a principal architect.

[10][11][12][13] The Ford Parts & Accessories Depot in Huff Bremner Estate was designed solely by Stanley and was added to the Edmonton Inventory of Historic Sites in 2006 on the basis of its modern architecture.
