The Architecture of Raymond Viner Hall

(1908-1981)

Walter Hall’s son, Raymond Viner Hall, first studied architecture at George Washington University before completing his studies via the International Correspondence School of Scranton. He became an architect and well-known designer in his own right — building  more than 120 homes and 27 schools and public buildings. He eventually branched out and brought his version of organic architecture to Florida and the Caribbean (although these projects would never be fully realized). Raymond was also at the forefront of using hydraulic radiant floor- and wall-heating systems throughout. He would later create the first guidelines in the U.S. for Bethlehem Steel. The product Rayduct is named after him.
