Harwell Hamilton Harris

The last of the second-generation architects in Southern California, Harris, a native Californian and the son of an architect, was first struck by the power of building when he saw Wright's Hollyhock House in 1925. While he later worked with Schindler and Neutra, his work always reflected the organic roots of Wright, with details reflecting Maybeck and the Greene Brothers. This detailed account of his life and career follows Harris from California to Texas through his final years in North Carolina.
