Edward Alfred Harrison (born 1869), known as E. A. Harrison, was an American architect who worked as a staff architect for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, with offices in Topeka, Kansas, and later in Chicago, Illinois.
Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Harrison studied under Canadian architect James Balfour from 1887 to 1892. He became an architectural draftsman for the San Francisco & San Joaquin Valley Railway, a Santa Fe subsidiary, in 1887. He began architectural work for the Santa Fe at Topeka, Kansas. Prior to 1901 he was a member of the United States Navy's Guam Survey Board. [1] He became a member of the American Railway Engineering Association in 1914, and was a member of the Association's Committee VI - Buildings from 1915 to 1919, [2] [3] and its Committee XXIII - Shops and Locomotive Terminals in 1921. [4]
As the System Architect for the Santa Fe, Harrison often was the approving official for work done by railroad staff members or by others working for the railroad. The railroad prepared plans for the El Navajo Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico, based on architect Mary Colter's design, but it is Harrison's signature which appears on the drawings as the approving railroad official. [5]
Harrison retired from the Santa Fe January 1, 1940, [6] and in 1948 was living in Dallas, Texas. [7]
