Biographical history
Ross Anthony Lort was born in Birmingham, England. He began his career as an architect by articling at Samuel Maclure's office in 1904.

Following Maclure's death in 1929, Lort continued to practice on his own, later renaming his firm Lort and Lort, in partnership with his son William.
