George Edward Harney

George Edward Harney (1840–1924) was a late-19th-century American architect based in New York City. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts, Harney received his early training in the office of local engineer Alonzo Lewis. In 1863 he relocated to Cold Spring, New York with an office in Newburgh, just upriver. He moved again to New York City in 1873. In 1874 he partnered with William I. Paulding in Harney & Paulding, the firm only lasting for that year. Soon after 1890 Harney took William S. Purdy as a partner in the firm of Harney & Purdy. They remained associated until at least 1910.
