Illustration — Winnipeg City Hall, completed in 1886 Charles Arnold Barber (9 July 1848 – 22 September 1915) was born in Canada West and was an architect and an inventor although one whose business dealings gave him a somewhat unsavory reputation. The majority of Barber's architectural work took place in Winnipeg between 1876 and 1898 where he designed schools, colleges, church buildings and office buildings. About that time, he began to acquire a reputation for "shady dealings" and that, along with changing times, affected his business.
