Georgina Pope Yeatman (June 26, 1902 – October, 1982) was an American architect. She earned her associate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1922. When Pennsylvania refused to award a woman a Bachelor of Architecture, she enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving her degree from them in 1925.[1][2]
She began her architectural career in the office of Bissell & Sinkler, and then started her private practice, effectively taking over the office of Bissell & Sinkler. In January 1936 Yeatman was appointed Director of the Department of City Architecture for the City of Philadelphia and remained with the City for a four-year term.[3] She was the city's first woman Director of Architecture.[1]
