Harry S. Coombs

Harry S. Coombs (1878–1939)[1] was an American architect practicing in Lewiston, Maine.

He graduated in 1901, and immediately entered his father's office, now Coombs & Gibbs.

Larger examples of this are his administration building at the Central Maine General Hospital, the Rumford Municipal Building, Stearns High School at Millinocket, and the former Lewiston High School.

He designed very few Gothic Revival buildings, and those that are known were all built in the first few years of his practice.

Beginning in the 1930s, Coombs and his partner Harriman began to adopt the Art Deco style for many of their works, most significantly the hospital at Togus and the since-demolished High School at Brunswick.
