Henry Simpson (1864–1926) was an architect active in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, around the turn of the 20th century.[1] Simpson trained under prominent architect E.J. Lennox, and the buildings he designed were in the Richardsonian Romanesque style Lennox had helped popularize.[2] He was one of the architects employed by the prominent Massey family, well-known philanthropists.[3] Simpson worked with Charles J. Gibson from 1888 to 1890.[4]
Over a dozen buildings he designed have survived to the present day.[5] According to the Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada Simpson played a role in the design of 126 buildings from 1891 to 1916.[6]
