About Harrie Thomas Lindeberg

Lived 1879 – 1959 (aged 79–80). Harrie Thomas Lindeberg was an American architect.

Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (1879 – January 10, 1959) was an American architect, best known for designing country houses in the United States. Among academic eclectic architects Lindeberg found a niche as "the American Lutyens" by working in a variety of popular styles while imparting a crisp modern stamp to his work. He might best be compared to contemporary Art Deco and Streamline Moderne skyscraper architects such as Raymond Hood, Ely Jacques Kahn, and Ralph Thomas Walker.

He studied architecture at the National Academy of Design from 1898 to 1901.

After the partnership dissolved, Lindeberg continued to design works that ranged from large country estates to suburban villas. His office received commissions from across the United States. His clients included many of the leading business, professional and cultural figures of the era.

His best-known houses include Glencraig for Michael Van Beuren in Middletown, Rhode Island and the Paul Moore residence (now demolished) in Convent Station, New Jersey.
