Born in Montreal on October 24, 1878, Ross was educated at the High School of Montreal, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.[1][2]
After returning from Paris, Ross was apprenticed to Brown, MacVicar, & Heriot in Montreal and later become a draftsman for the Grand Trunk Railway. He also worked for Parker & Thomas in Boston and Carrere & Hastings in New York City, then in 1907 went into partnership in Montreal with David MacFarlane as Ross and MacFarlane. When MacFarlane withdrew from the firm in 1912, Ross established a new partnership with Robert Henry Macdonald called Ross and Macdonald.[3]
