Halfdan Marinius Hanson (November 30, 1884 – September 12, 1952) was a Norwegian-born American architect.
He was born in Tønsberg in Vestfold, Norway. He emigrated as an infant to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where his father was a ship's rigger.[1] In 1904, he completed a correspondence course in architecture from a program based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Hanson had a longtime collaboration with interior designer Henry Davis Sleeper, the owner of the Beauport in Gloucester, Massachusetts.[2] [3]
He was an architect in the employment of Sleeper for twenty-seven years. He was also the architect of or contributor to over 100 properties principally within greater Boston area including the communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Beverly and Newton. [1] Other notable properties designed by Hanson include Our Lady of Good Voyage Church, which is, along with Beauport, on the National Register of Historic Places.[4] [5] [6]
