Only two buildings listed AND SOURCED are his, and both have been demolished (Holyland and Netanya). Buildings which are most CERTAINLY NOT HIS are listed & provided with photos - Scottish Church, Town Hall, Bible Society House. One that might be his, but it's not sourced, the Salameh House, is photographed in such a manner that one sees almost only the floors added in the 2010s. So not one single relevant picture.
The Central Post Office & Generali Building are clearly the work of other quite famous architects. There was no "National Bank" in Mandate times; the Anglo Palestine Bank from Jaffa St. (c. 1939), directly next to Post Office and Town Hall, was designed by Erich Mendelsohn, whom btw Harmat used as inspiration in Netanya. So, what building is meant? What contribution did he have? Is it worth mentioning?
The VERY poor source used here, a Romanian article, who starts by claimimg that Harmat "helped rebuild Jerusalem after WWII" (there was no WII destruction in J'lem, and much of his work was done before that), is attributing to Harmat projects where he might possibly have participated as - what? draughtsman? assistant? NOT as the main architect in any case. Should we take this source seriously at all? Lots (most?) of the material in the article is based on it. True, he seems almost completely absent on the English-language Internet. Kroyanker would have helped, but his opera magna is not available online. Does anyone have the book? Or any other source, other than the Romanian newspaper? Arminden (talk) 06:04, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
