In 1995, I returned to studies at the University of Victoria after a lapse of 30 years. I completed a BA in History of Art, with a focus on architecture, June 2001. One course I completed was FA225. For one assignment I produced a web page on The Art and Architecture of Samuel Maclure. I plan to enlarge the coverage to include more of Victoria's architects as I have time.
