Henry Grant Morse

Henry Grant Morse (1884 in Canton - May 28, 1934, in Essex Fells^[1]) was an American architect. Based in New York City, he worked in a partnership for the Hawes & Morse firm for many years. He was noted in particular for his work on Virginia House in Richmond, Virginia which is partly a reconstruction of a Tudor manor shipped over from Warwickshire, England. Morse was hired in 1925 to visit England and study other manors travelling around the English countryside and surveying other properties such as Wormleighton Manor, fusing together different ideas into the final reconstruction in Virginia.^[2]

He died in 1934.
