Godfrey Leonard Norrman,[1] {{post-nominals|list=FAIA}} (1846 – November 16, 1909)[2] was an important architect in the southeastern United States. A number of his commissions are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1897 he was made a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

Biography

A native of Sweden, he arrived in Atlanta, Georgia around 1880 and designed buildings for the International Cotton Exposition (1881). He also designed the Armstrong Hotel of Rome, the Windsor Hotell of Americus, the Gate City Bank and Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Edward Peters Atlanta mansion (1883), Anderson Hall at Savannah College of Art and Design (1896) and the Piedmont Exposition Building of Atlanta, and also homes in Inman Park Atlanta. His firm was called "Norrman and Humphreys" with George Phares Humphreys who designed Joel Chandler Harris's home, Wren's Nest.[3] He maintained offices in Joel Hurt's Equitable Building, resided in the Kimball House and remained in the city until his death. He also designed the Bishop William Wallace Duncan House at Spartanburg, South Carolina.[4]

A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). He was a member of American Institute of Architects (1885-1888 and 1897 to his death) and in 1897 they made him a Fellow of the organization.[5]

Norrman suffered from ill health near the end of his life, and committed suicide on February 16, 1909.[6] He is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta.[7]
