American architect who worked primarily in Washington, D.C
Harris was a long time member of the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In 1911, an AIA committee of Harris, Snowden Ashford, and Waddy B. Wood "condemned bay windows as not being in accord with the dignity of architecture which the Capital should maintain." In 1914, another committee of the three, and Glenn Brown first proposed that architects be professionally licensed. Harris himself became the first licensed architect in Washington on April 6, 1925.
