Biography


Born in the Ogontz neighborhood of North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Albright was educated in the local public schools and at the Peirce College of Business and Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia. In 1886, he began his architecture business designing residential and public projects in Philadelphia.
He moved to Charleston, West Virginia in 1891 and was architect for the State of West Virginia in addition to designing residential projects. As State architect he designed an annex to the State Capitol, a state asylum at Huntington, West Virginia, the Miners' Hospital in Fairmont, West Virginia and buildings at Shepherd University and the Preparatory Branch of West Virginia University at Keyser.
In 1901, he was hired by Indiana hotelier Lee Wiley Sinclair to design the landmark West Baden Springs Hotel which included a 200-foot-diameter (61 m) steel and glass dome.
In 1905, he moved his architectural practice to California, working in Los Angeles and San Diego, as an early proponent of reinforced concrete construction.
John L. Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, was employed in the Albright firm.
Harrison Albright retired from architecture for health reasons in 1925 and died in 1932.
