About the Artist

Harold Cooler's peers consider him to be one of the best of the local practitioners of the "art of architecture." In more than 50 years practice in Charlotte, he has consistently produced designs that, though grounded in the rhythms of the classic traditions, have been triumphs of the marriage of a stern pragmatism and bold, innovative style. He credits an indulgent clientele for allowing so much fun in pursuit of his passion.

Since retirement, he has turned his attention to other pursuits, writing two memoirs, "Chicora Chronicle," and "Booster Kuester and Beyond." His latest endeavor involves a return to watercolor renderings, an early skill he developed to enhance conversation with clients.
