Harrie Thomas Lindeberg (1879 – January 10, 1959) was an American architect, best known for designing country houses in the United States. Among academic eclectic architects Lindeberg found a niche as "the American Lutyens" by working in a variety of popular styles while imparting a crisp modern stamp to his work. He might best be compared to contemporary Art Deco and Streamline Moderne skyscraper architects such as Raymond Hood, Ely Jacques Kahn, and Ralph Thomas Walker.

Early life

Harrie Thomas Lindeberg was born in Bergen Point, New Jersey in 1879.

He studied architecture at the National Academy of Design from 1898 to 1901.

Lindeberg began his career as an assistant draftsman with the noted architecture firm McKim, Mead & White, where he assisted Stanford White with the James L. Breese House in Southampton, New York. He left the firm in 1906 to form a partnership with fellow McKim, Mead & White draftsman Lewis Colt Albro. They worked together until 1914.

After the partnership dissolved, Lindeberg continued to design works that ranged from large country estates to suburban villas. His office received commissions from across the United States. His clients included many of the leading business, professional and cultural figures of the era. In Chicago he designed fine residences on the North Shore for the Armour family; in Houston his clients included many oil barons who resided in the "Shadyside" district; in New Jersey he built for Wall Street figures and businessmen such as Gerard Lambert; on Long Island his clients were self-made millionaires in the mold of Jay Gatsby. His best-known houses include Glencraig for Michael Van Beuren in Middletown, Rhode Island and the Paul Moore residence (now demolished) in Convent Station, New Jersey.
