Wallace Kirkman Harrison ’s most famous work can be seen dotting the skyline of New York City. His career began to take off in the mid 1930s when he participated in the construction of Rockefeller Center. Other notable projects include the Metropolitan Opera House at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City, the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York, and the Pershing Memorial in Washington, D.C. In addition to his architectural work, Harrison served

Dodge Point

Sea Change as master planner and supervising architect for a number of important projects including LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports. His friendship with Nelson Rockefeller brought him to Mount Desert Island where he designed Rockefeller’s renowned 9000 square foot home, The Anchorage, in Seal Harbor in 1939. Dodge Point in Seal Harbor, with its curving exterior and interior walls, and the oceanfront compound Sea Change in Northeast Harbor are further examples of Harrison’s modernist designs. Sea Change was

commissioned in 1939 and destroyed by fire in 1999. The current owners had it meticulously rebuilt

based on the original plans, completing the project in 2005.
