for sale a RARE! "Chateau Frontenac" Harry Sternfeld Hand Signed 3X5.5 was another of that group of architects working in Philadelphia who

came under the considerable influence of Paul P. Cret while

studying at the University of Pennsylvania. A native Philadelphian, Sternfeld

graduated from Central High School in 1907, entering the University of

Pennsylvania on a city scholarship, and graduating with his B.S. in 1911.

During school vacations he worked from 1906 to 1912 (except for 1909) in the

Wilmington, DE office of John D. Thompson, Jr., the

architect who, in association with Henry Hornbostel and

Jones, won the competition for the New Castle County Public Buildings with a

Beaux-Arts influenced design. During 1900 Sternfeld spent some time in the

office of Frank Miles Day & Bro. Following

his graduation, Sternfeld left the United States to work for Francis S. Swales

in his Montreal office and, while there, participated in the designs of the

Chateau Frontenac and the Hotel Vancouver. Swales also was Beaux-Arts educated

and maintained an atelier which Sternfeld attended while in Canada. In 1912 he

married Flora Maxwell of Atlantic City, NJ, and in 1913 returned to

Philadelphia to begin work on his Masters of Architecture at the University of

Pennsylvania. In 1914 he graduated and was awarded the Paris Prize: but World

War I intervened, preventing him from traveling to Europe; and he instead

accepted a position on the faculty of Architecture at Carnegie-Mellon

University in Pittsburgh, where he remained until 1923, with interruptions for

military service and the delayed trip to Europe. During his stay in Europe he

attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and associated with the Atelier Jaussely in

Paris from 1919-1920, working on a plan for the City of Paris. From Paris he

moved on to the American Academy in Rome, where he studied from 1920-1921. In

1923 Sternfeld left Carnegie-Mellon, where he had risen to be head of the

Department of Architecture, in order to join the faculty of the University of

Pennsylvania as Professor of Design. At that time he also launched what would

prove a long career as both architect and planner, during which he would design

such projects as the U.S. World War I monument at Audenarde, Belgium, the

Pittsburgh Building at the Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia (1926),

and the Slovak Girls Academy in Danville, PA (1929). As a planner Sternfeld

worked from 1928-1934 as City Planner for Rome, NY. During his long career

Sternfeld associated from time to time with other architects, most

notably John I. Bright, whose

office was close to his in the Otis Building. He also associated with the Ballinger Co., Edward H. Wigham,

and Harbeson, Hough, Livingston &

Larson. Sternfeld had become a member of the Pittsburgh Chapter of

the AIA in 1916, transferred to the Philadelphia Chapter in 1926 and became a

fellow in 1950.
