Vancouver Social Register and Club Directory, 1914, page 60.

Sharpe Construction Company Limited

In 1914, Walter and Amelia, along with three other Quebec City parties, incorporated The Sharpe Construction Company Limited, which was a general contracting business.

The Sharpe Construction Company Limited, notice of incorporation, Quebec Official Gazette, November 17, 1914, pages 2776-2778; http://collections.banq.qc.ca:81/jrn03/goq/src/1914/11/07/116644_1914-11-07.pdf; https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/9618/index.do.

By 1915 the Sharpe Construction Company was at 109 Fleurie Street. Arthur Laurent, one of the incorporators of Sharpe Construction, also had his business at 109 Fleurie Street.

Quebec City Directory, 1915-1916, page 316, Fleurie Street.

One of the company’s first projects led to legal problems. A company called Masson Limited submitted a tender to the City of Quebec to reconstruct Dufferin Terrace. Masson agreed with Sharpe Construction that, if the city accepted Masson’s tender, then Masson would purchase the structural steel work from Sharpe Construction (“consistent with the conditions” in Masson’s contract with the City of Quebec).

The city accepted Masson’s tender, but imposed a condition that Masson had to buy the steel from Eastern Canada Steel Company.

Sharpe Construction sued Masson for damages for loss of profit and for not being able to advertise their abilities in construction projects. Sharpe Construction was successful in the trial court. An appeal to the Court of King’s Bench affirmed the loss of profits, but denied the claim for the loss of advertising. In the end, however, the majority of the Supreme Court of Canada denied Sharpe Construction’s entire claim. [Browning v. Masson Ltd., 1915 CanLII 589, (1915) 52 Supreme Court Reports 379, 29 Dominion Law Reports 360; https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/1915/1915canlii589/1915canlii589.html; https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/9618/index.do.]
