Hutton & Souter is a Canadian architectural firm established in 1920 by William Russell Souter and Gordon Johnston Hutton.[1][2] Based in Hamilton, Ontario, the firm is responsible for notable structures in the city and elsewhere, (e.g. McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom[3] and Dominion Public Building[4]).[5] The firm's name was changed to William R. Souter & Associates in 1947 after Hutton's death.[1]

Souter, who was also an architect, inherited his father's firm, and died in 2001.[1]
