Pratt & Ross

Ralph Benjamin Pratt (1878-1950) was born in London, England. After completing his education he emigrated to Canada and by 1892 was working in Winnipeg as an architect for Canadian National Railway and designed many stations and shops for the new transcontinental line. In 1906, while still a CNR architect, he formed a partnership with Winnipegger Donald A. Ross (1878–1956). Together they were responsible for numerous buildings around the city as Pratt & Ross.
