Harrison Albright

Harrison Albright (May 17, 1866 – January 3, 1932) was an American architect best known for his design of the West Baden Springs Hotel in Orange County, Indiana.

In 1886, he began his architecture business designing residential and public projects in Philadelphia.

In 1901, he was hired by Indiana hotelier Lee Wiley Sinclair to design the landmark West Baden Springs Hotel which included a 200-foot-diameter (61 m) steel and glass dome.

In 1905, he moved his architectural practice to California, working in Los Angeles and San Diego, as an early proponent of reinforced concrete construction.

Harrison Albright retired from architecture for health reasons in 1925 and died in 1932 at age 65.
