Harvey L. Page was born in 1859 in Washington, District of Columbia, United States.
Mr. Page was trained in architecture in the office of the late J. L. Smithmeyer, and continued as draftsman there until he felt adequately prepared to practice for himself. With an office in the city he designed a number of public buildings there during the early 1880’s, including the Army and Navy Club, the Metropolitan Club, and several large residences, one of which, planned for Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, later was occupied by the Italian Legation.
After 1897 Mr. Page spent several years in Chicago associated with E. S. Hall under the firm name of H. L. Page & Company. In a much later period he moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he carried on work under his own name until his death, known as the architect of the city's Masonic Temple, and other public buildings. He also designed the County Court House at Corpus Christi, Tex.
