Hugh Edward White

Hugh Edward White (June 27, 1869 – June 25, 1939) was an American architect active primarily in South Carolina and North Carolina. Best known for his work in Gastonia, North Carolina during the city's textile boom of the early 20th century, White designed nearly 300 documented buildings over a four-decade career. Working largely in Beaux-Arts Classical, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival styles, he became Gaston County's dominant architect during the interwar period.
