William Hay (1818-1888) was born in Scotland in 1818, and after spending time in Newfoundland from 1846 to 1850, proceeded to Toronto where he established a prominent architectural firm in southern Ontario which ran from 1853 to 1860. After several years spent in Halifax, he returned to Scotland in 1863 where he died in 1888.
