Edward Hazlehurst (1853–1915)[1] was an American architect based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After graduating from the Faires' Classical Institute in Philadelphia, Hazlehurst entered the University of Pennsylvania, Towne Scientific School, in the Class of 1876 but left the college at the close of the first term of his junior year, lured away by work in the offices of such eminent Philadelphia architects as Theophilus P. Chandler Jr. (1874-1876?) and Frank Furness (1876-1881). By 1881 he and Samuel Huckel, Jr. had established Hazlehurst & Huckel. A successful residential design firm, Hazlehurst & Huckel endured until 1900, when Huckel received the commission to remodel Grand Central Station in New York City; and the partnership dissolved. Although Huckel returned to Philadelphia in 1901/02, the partners did not reunite; and Hazlehurst pursued an independent career until his death in Nether Providence, PA, in 1915. After his partnership with Huckel was dissolved, Hazlehurst's later career included considerable academic work, among the commissions four buildings at Pennsylvania State College from 1902 to 1915.
