Bio Notes: Frank Darling was born in 1850, the son and brother of prominent Anglican clergymen in Toronto, and trained with Henry Langley. He then sought experience in London, in the offices of George Edmund Street and Arthur William Blomfield, returning to Toronto after three years to commence practice on his own account. After a year practising alone he went into partnership with Henry MacDougall in 1873 but this was dissolved when MacDougall returned to Scotland in 1875.

In 1880 Darling entered into a new partnership with Samuel Curry. In 1890 the firm became Darling, Pearson & Sproatt when John Andrew Pearson (born 1867) and Henry Sproatt, who were already in partnership together, joined the firm. The firm was renamed Darling & Pearson in 1899 when Sproatt left to enter a new partnership with Ernest Rolph. The title of Darling & Pearson was retained after Darling's death in 1923.
