Memorable Manitobans: Frederick John Chubb (1846-?)Building contractor, architect. Born at Warminster, County Wiltshire, England in 1846, he emigrated to the United States in 1870 and worked as a brick mason at Litchfield, Michigan. By 1875, he had moved to Guelph, Ontario where he was a building contractor, and by 1881 to nearby Woodstock. After 1890, he came to western Canada and, in 1891, he was an inspector for construction of the Brandon City Hall and Brandon Central School. As an architect, he was responsible for the design of several Brandon buildings in the early 1890s.
