William B. Harvard Sr.

William B. Harvard Sr. was born in Waldo, Florida. After graduating from Sewanee Military Academy, he attended the University of Cincinnati in the mid-1930s. He returned to Florida after his father's death during the Great Depression, originally apprenticing in Miami. Harvard then set up his own practice after a commission brought him to St. Petersburg, Florida. Harvard is known for his modern architecture designs including the St. Petersburg Pier, bandshell in Williams Park, Hospitality House at Busch Gardens, and Pasadena Community Church.[1]
