William Harold Lee

William Harold Lee (December 9, 1884 – February 3, 1971) was an American 20th century movie theater designer and later the chief architect for Eastern College.

During his career, Lee designed numerous theaters and several buildings at Temple University, Franklin and Marshall College.

The Walnut, a National Historic Landmark, is the oldest theater in the United States in continuous operation.

The two designs represent divergent styles of architecture, with Lee's French-inspired Art Deco interior at odds with Hahn's exterior.

Lee designed the Pennypack Theatre in Art Deco style, located on the 8000 block of Frankford Avenue of Holmesburg.
