Biography
George Edward Harney was born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1840.[2] He 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 to New York City in 1873 and partnered with William I. Paulding, their firm Harney & Paulding, only lasting for that year.[3] Soon after Harney took his draftsman William S. Purdy as a partner in the firm Harney & Purdy.[4] They remained associated until at least 1910.[5]
Harney died in New York City on November 12, 1924.[6]
