'''Haldor Larsen Børve''' (19 August 1857&ndash;11 August 1933) was an [[architect]] from [[Ullensvang]] in [[Hordaland]], [[Norway]]. Børve started an architectural practice in [[Porsgrunn]] in 1889 and designed numerous buildings in [[Telemark]] and [[Vestfold]], many of them influenced by [[Dragestil]] and the Nordic [[National Romantic style]]. Among his best-known works are [[Dalen Hotel]] from 1894 and [[Porsgrunn City Hall]] from 1904/1905.<ref name=snl>{{cite encyclopedia |title=Haldor Larsen Børve |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo |url=http://www.snl.no/Haldor_Larsen_Børve |language=Norwegian | accessdate=9 September 2011 }}</ref><ref name=nbl>{{cite encyclopedia |title=Haldor Børve |encyclopedia=[[Norsk biografisk leksikon]]|first=Trond |last=Indahl |editor=[[Knut Helle|Helle, Knut]] |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|url=http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Haldor_Børve/utdypning |language=Norwegian|accessdate=9 September 2011}}</ref><ref name="arc">{{cite web |title= Arkitekter: Haldor Larsen Børve (1857-1933) |year=2003 |first=Steigan |last=Geir Tandberg |publisher=Artemisia arkitekturhistorie |url=http://www.artemisia.no/arc/arkitekter/norge/borve.haldor.html |language=Norwegian|accessdate=26 Jan 2013}}</ref>


==Career==
==Early life==
Harlow was born on May 15, 1948 grew up in [[South Philadelphia]], graduating from [[South Philadelphia High School]] in 1965.
Børve was born in Ullensvang in 1857 to [[farmer]] Lars Jørgensen Børve and his wife Anna Haldorsdatter Eidnes. He attended Trondheim Technical Vocational School ({{lang-no|Trondhjems Tekniske Læreanstalt}}) from 1877 to 1880, after which he worked for a few years as a junior architect. His only major project during this time was managing the restoration of [[Ullensvang Church]] in [[Ullensvang]] from 1883 to 1886, a project led by [[Bergen]] architect [[Christian Christie]]. In 1887, he pursued further education at the [[University of Hanover|Polytechnic Institute of Hannover]] in [[Germany]]. He was among the last of the great Norwegian architects to attend the architectural school in [[Hanover|Hannover]], which had greatly influenced [[Architecture of Norway|Norwegian architecture]] in the latter half of the [[19th century]]. He finished his studies in 1889, and with the help of a government grant for engineers, he moved to [[Porsgrunn]] in [[Telemark]], [[Norway]] and started his own [[architectural firm]] that same year.<ref name=nbl/><ref name="arc"/>


==Film appearances==
Haldor Larsen Børve's first work under the new firm was the Borgestad school built in [[Skien]] in 1889. The building was bestowed upon the local [[school district]] by local shipping [[Business magnate|magnate]] and future [[Prime Minister of Norway|prime minister]] [[Gunnar Knudsen]]. Though the building has long since been demolished, it was once a grand three-story stone building in the [[Gothic Revival architecture|Neo-Gothic]] style, a symmetrical design with steep [[gable]]s on both ends which featured Gothic window designs and pointed [[arch]]es.<ref name="borg">http://www.slekt.org/books/quisling/hist1/019.html</ref>


==''Harlow's''==
While Børve had learned a great deal about contemporary German architecture during his studies in Hannover, as shown in his use of Neo-Gothic and [[Swiss chalet style|Swiss chalet]] styles. He was also a great proponent of [[Norwegian romantic nationalism]] and often integrated elements from [[Dragestil]] and [[National Romantic style]] into his work, as exemplified by [[Dalen Hotel]], Børve's best-known work. In addition to his architectural practice, Børve was also the [[head teacher]] and later [[administrator|Academic administration]] at Porsgrunn Technical Evening School ({{lang-no|Porsgrunns tekniske aftenskole}}). He was active as an architect until the early 1920s, and passed away on 11 August 1933 in Porsgrunn, aged 75.<ref name=nbl/>


==Later life==
Following Børve's death, his daughter, architect Alfhild Børve, took over her father's practice along with Haldor Larsen Børve's assistant Ødegaard. The next year, [[Johannes Borchsenius|Johannes Laurentius Borchsenius]] took over as co-owner with Alfhild Børve, and the firm changed its name to Arkitektkontoret Børve & Borchsenius. Borchsenius was an architect from Skien who studied at the [[Norwegian Institute of Technology]]. He was responsible for the construction of [[Refugee camp|camps]] for Norwegian [[refugee]]s in [[Sweden]] during [[World War II]] and, following the war, the reconstruction of areas in [[Finnmark]] such as [[Vadsø]] and [[Kirkenes]]. The newly named firm designed several buildings in the Porsgrunn area using [[Functionalism (architecture)|functionalist]] principles, including the [[People's Houses#Norway|Folkets hus]] just across from Børve's [[Vår Frue Church (Porsgrunn)|Vår Frue Church]]. The company still exists today under the same name, making it one of the longest-running architectural firms in Norway.<ref>http://www.ark-bb.no/index.php?side=firma&id=4</ref><ref>http://www.ark-bb.no/filer/Byggekunst_BB100aar.pdf</ref>

==Major works==
===Croftholmen===
With the exception of [[Gunnar Knudsen|Gunnar Knudsen's]] Borgestad School<ref name="borg"/> in 1889, the mansion on Croftholmen (now Croftholmen High School) in [[Stathelle]] was Børve's first major work under his new firm. The work was commissioned by Frederic Croft in 1890. Croft was a very wealthy [[English people|Englishman]] whose father, William Croft, was a mine owner in [[Yorkshire]] who also had a high position in "The Norway Mining Timber Company" in [[Hull]]. Frederic Croft had trained in England as an [[engineer]], but in 1870 he took one of his father's boats and sailed away to Norway, reportedly to forget a painful love story from back home. Croft also had a reputation of being a very eccentric figure. He was among the first people to own an [[automobile]] in the county, and one story involved him being ticketed for scaring the horses while driving through Porsgrunn. The [[Police officer|policeman]] issued him a fine of twenty [[Norwegian krone|kroner]], and Croft handed him fourty kroner instead. When told again that the fine was only twenty kroner, Croft replied, "But I will also return home."<ref name="croft">http://www.croftholmen.vgs.no/content/download/11867/61417/version/1/file/croftholmens+tidlige+historie.doc</ref>


<ref>{{cite news |last=Oppenheimer |first=Jerry |date=22 April 2017 |title=The scandalous secrets lurking in Grace Kelly’s home |url=https://pagesix.com/2017/04/22/the-scandalous-secrets-lurking-in-grace-kellys-home/ |work=Page Six |location= |access-date=4 Dec 2022}}</ref>
After considering several properties on which to build his [[Estate (land)|estate]], among others Bjørkøya in [[Langesundfjord]], Croft settled on the island Gjermundsholmen in Stathelle, for which he paid 10,000 kroner. Before Croft bought the island, Gjermundsholmen was densely forested and a popular location for [[Vagrancy (people)|vagrants]], and it allegedly received its name from a man who was killed by vagrants there. Croft commissioned Børve to build the main house on the island in 1890. While digging the building's [[Foundation (engineering)|foundation]], the workers found a human skeleton that they estimated could have been there for ten or fifteen years. The construction was led by master builder Sigurdsen from Skien and it took 25 builders until 1895 to complete. Since 1957 the building has been used as a school, first as a navigational school for sailors and now as a [[high school]].<ref name="croft"/>

The building has a distinctive Dragestil [[architectural style]] and is painted dark red, originally with a high-quality paint imported from England. It exhibits many features of the style, including [[eaves]] adorned with dragon heads and a roof with several decorative spires. The building has an area of {{convert|1872|m2|sqft}} and has two floors and a well-secured [[wine cellar]]. When Croft lived there the home was lavishly furnished, and some of the pieces of [[furniture]] can now be found on display at the [[Telemark Museum|Porsgrunn City Museum]]. The [[living room]] was furnished in the [[rococo]] style, while the [[smoking room]] had heavy brown leather chairs and the hall included some pieces of antique [[Elizabethan and Jacobean furniture|Elizabethan furniture]].<ref>http://www.ark-bb.no/prosjekt.php?id=49&side=prosjekter</ref><ref name="croft"/>

The initiative to build a church in [[Skotfoss]] was taken by Gustav Fangel Smidt, who managed the nearby [[Skotfoss Bruk]] [[paper mill]]. At the time, the townspeople of Skotfoss and Dalsbygda had to travel many miles west along the banks of [[Norsjø]] to Melum Church in order to attend [[Mass (liturgy)|mass]]. The founders of Union Co. (later the [[Norske Skog Union]]), who owned Skotfoss Bruk, agreed to donate 1,000 kroner each towards the construction of the new church, and the remaining 38,000 of the 42,000 kroner cost was split between [[wholesale]]r Thor Eger and [[Rittmeister|Rittmester]] Heftye. The church's site, located on Sandåsen near the entrance to Løveid Canal, was donated by the [[board of directors]] of the [[Telemark Canal|Norsjø–Skien Canal]]. Haldor Børve designed the building, and planning and [[Joiner|joinery]] work was completed by workers from Skotfoss Bruk.<ref>http://skien.kirken.no/artikkel/article/81679</ref><ref>http://www.skien.kommune.no/Kommunens-organisering/Radmann/Utvikling-og-kultur/Byutviklingsavdelingen/Planer-og-prosjekter/Miljostatus-Skien-kommune/Kulturminner/Kirker-kloster-og-menigheter/Skotfoss-kirke/</ref><ref>http://www.ark-bb.no/prosjekt.php?id=51&side=prosjekter</ref>
