Donald Hanks McMorran RA FRIBA FSA (3 May 1904 – 6 August 1965)[1][2][3] was an English architect who is known today for his sensitive continuation of the neo-Georgian and classical tradition in the period after the Second World War.

After World War II, the architectural firm McMorran & Whitby were responsible for some buildings of distinction which were influenced by the work of Harris and Sir Edwin Lutyens.

[6] In the early 1960s, McMorran & Whitby were commissioned to design a new library headquarters as part of a wider civic buildings estate on Raingate Street in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

The New Classical-style Suffolk Record Office is today a Grade II listed building and is noted for its central lantern and original interior fittings.

McMorran was, however, not narrow-minded in his attitude to the Modern Movement, and as assessor in the City of London's Golden Lane housing competition he awarded first place to the young Modernists, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon.
