In commercial circles of Baltimore the name of Harn has long been synonymous with enterprise, reliability and integrity, and the initiative spirit and executive force of the father are ably supplemented by the well-directed efforts of his son, John Edwin Harn, a civil engineer by profession and a member of one of the largest construction firms in the city.
John Edwin Harn was born in Baltimore, July 12, 1892 and comes of Scotch and Irish ancestry, whose sturdy qualities he has inherited. His great-grandparents were Ephraim and Elizabeth Harn, whose home was situated on a farm in Howard county, Maryland, and their family numbered nine children. Their son, Edwin W. Harn, was born in Triadelphia, Maryland, and served as apprenticeship to the weaver's trade. He was long employed as superintendent by the firm of James S. Gary & Son of Alberton, Maryland, and subsequently removed to Hood Hill, Carroll county, where he operated a farm for a few years.
He was an honored veteran of the Civil war, gallantly defending the Union cause, and his death occurred in Baltimore when he was seventy-six years of age. He had married Leoline Elizabeth Evans, who survives him and has reached the age of seventy-seven.
They had a family of six children, of whom Willard Eugene was the second in order of birth, his natal day being June 9, 1918. He attended the public schools of Howard county and Baltimore city and gained his first knowledge of the builder's trade in the employ of John Cowan, in whose service he remained for many years, rising to the position of superintendent. In 1904 he embarked in business as a building contractor, securing a location at No. 213 North Calvert street, and in 1915 removed to his present address at No. 2314 Oak street. He has an expert knowledge of the business and is a recognized leader in his chosen field of activity.

The company has outdistanced many Of its competitors and one of the finest examples of its handiwork is the Rivoll Theater of Baltimore. It was awarded the contract for rebuilding three warehoused of the Sexton Company on West Gay street, destroyed during the memorable fire of 1904, and later erected St David's Episcopal church in Roland Park, the first monolithic concrete building constructed in Maryland.

Barrett, Dr. Gordon Wilson, Thomas R. Brown, William H. Bryan and others. The work of the company represents the highest degree of skill in the builders' art and the firm has established an unassailable reputation for business integrity and reliability.
