Samuel Maclure was an iconic local architect, responsible for designing over 325 commissions through his Victoria and Vancouver offices. Maclure is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Francis Rattenbury on what is now termed the Rattenbury-Maclure Government House, which burned down in 1957, and for Hatley Castle, but he was also responsible for numerous houses throughout Victoria in the Arts and Crafts style.
