Donald Cameron Routledge studied interior design and decoration in Paris and New York under Frank Alvah Parsons of the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. In 1928 Traymore Limited, Toronto, hired Routledge to decorate this prestigious Savarin Restaurant. Together with his partner John Burton (a one-time professional actor) they designed interiors for clients in Toronto, London (Ont.), Florida etc. From 1930 to 1965 they were considered one of the most important interior design firms in Canada. Routledge & Burton also designed the interiors for Nash Galleries, Wong's Café. The Venetian Grill, and innumerable other private and commercial residences.
