NCMH Archive Cited As Major Reference For Information On HHH

Harwell Hamilton Harris, FAIA

July 11, 2013 — We are pleased to announce that Guardian Stewardship Editions, which publishes books on art and architecture, has cited NC Modernist Houses (formerly Triangle Modernist Houses) as a primary resource for “a detailed timeline and images” of the late architect Harwell Hamilton Harris’s work.

The citing is in relation to a new, upcoming book by Ted Wells entitled Romantic Modern: The California Architecture of Harwell Hamilton Harris, which is due out in October of 2014. GS Editions has posted an excerpt from the book on its website at http://gsebooks.com/wordpress/harwell-hamilton-harris/harwell-hamilton-harris-californian-by-nature. At the end of the excerpt is a link of resources for learning more about Harris. At the top of the list is the NCMH/TMH archive.

A celebrated Moderist master, Harwell Hamilton Harris, FAIA, was a Californian by birth and he practiced in his native state for many years. He and his wife, Jean, moved to Raleigh, NC, in 1962 where Harris would become a part of Dean Henry Kamphoefner’s School of Design faculty at NC State University. The Harrises remained here until their deaths.

We are honored to be recognized as a credible resource by GS Editions, and we look forward to the new book on Harwell Harris’ work in California.
