The Frank Harmon Papers, Circa 1940 - 2012, document the professional activities of Harmon and his architectural firm. The collection is arranged into the following series: project files, drawings, photographs, article files, and models. Project files include correspondence with clients. Architectural drawings include iterations of designs, as well as final construction documents. Photographs document the construction process. Article files concern Harmon’s publications. Models exist for a limited number of projects. Also included in the collection are blueprints from Harmon's close friends and architect Harwell Hamilton Harris, as well as files from Jean Murray Bangs Harris. Frank Harmon was born in 1941 in Georgia, and he was raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. From 1959 to 1961 he attended the NCSU School of Design, and he graduated in 1967 from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, England. In 1981 he set up his own firm in Raleigh, North Carolina.
