Creighton was born in Chatham, New Brunswick, emigrated to Denver, Colorado in 1879, and resided in Colorado for three years. He became a naturalized United States citizen and, in the early 1880s, established an architectural practice in Arizona.[1] He lived with his wife Nellie Creighton in Maricopa County in the Arizona Territory from at least 1900 through at least the 1930s.
