Harwell Hamilton Harris Architectural Drawings 1964

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00433

The Harwell Hamilton Harris Architectural Drawings consist of blueprints documenting the Roy L. Lindahl residence in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903-1990) was born in Redlands, California. He apprenticed with the noted modernist architects Richard Neurta and Rudolf Schindler until 1933, at which time he established his own practice in Los Angeles. In 1943, he taught for one year at Columbia University before returning to California. From 1952-1955, he was the Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1962, he accepted a teaching position at North Carolina State University, where he remained until his retirement. Harris was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (1965) and a recipient of the Richard Neutra Medal for Professional Excellence (1982) and is remembered for his influential modernist-style architectural works in California, Texas, and North Carolina. The Harris Lecture Series at North Carolina State University is named in his honor.
