Harry Norris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Norris (1888-1966) was an Australian architect working in Melbourne during the mid 1920s and 1930s.

He designed some of the city's most loved buildings, most in the Melbourne CBD and many in moderne and art deco styles featuring the use of Glazed architectural terra-cotta, inspired by his tour to California in the early 1920s.

Possibly his most famous work, Burnham Beeches, designed midway through his career, received worldwide acclaim for its innovative Streamline Moderne design.
