Henrik Thrap-Meyer
Henrik Thrap-Meyer (31 July 1833 – 29 December 1910) was a Norwegian architect.
He was born in Bergen, Norway and educated at Polytechnicum in Hannover and Zurich (1855-1860). He was a teacher at Bergen's Drawing School from 1860 to 1863. He is most commonly associated with his work on Victoria Terrasse, a building complex in the Ruseløkka district of central Oslo, which was built during the 1880s. The complex now houses the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Between 1886 and 1904 Thrap-Meyer was engaged as the architect in the development of the hospital for the Lovisenberg Deaconess College (Lovisenberg diakonale høgskole), a private college for nursing in the district of St. Hanshaugen in Oslo. [1][2]
