BAND, Charles Penruddocke William Kivas (1872-1959) was born in Toronto on 21 August 1872, son of William P. Band and his wife Annie G. Tully, the eldest daughter of the prominent Toronto architect Kivas Tully. The family moved to Penetanguishene and Charles was educated at Lakefield, Ont. and at Upper Canada College in Toronto. He graduated from the School of Practical Science at the University of Toronto and articled with the Toronto firms of Dick & Wickson (1894-95) and Smith & Bird (1896-97). He moved to Ottawa and formed a partnership in February 1898 with two young architects, Clarence J. Burritt and Colborne P. Meredith. In 1901 Band moved to Sydney, N.S. to establish a related practice called Band, Rolph & Meredith. Four years later the Ottawa partnership was renamed The Architectural & Engineering Co. of Canada, with offices in Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg. Band returned to Toronto in 1905 and served as the company's representative there. When the firm was dissolved in 1906, he chose to stay in Toronto for the rest of his career, specializing in the design of large Edwardian houses and major educational works. In the early 1920's Band worked in the Forest Hill Village area providing plans to James Suydan, one of the most active house builders there. After WWII he designed many schools for the North York and East York Boards of Education. He died in Toronto on 5 October 1959 (obituary in the Globe & Mail [Toronto], 6 Oct. 1959, 5; Telegram [Toronto], 6 Oct. 1959, 36; R.A.I.C.
