Frank Harold Shaw (1882 – May 14, 1950) was an American civil engineer notable for designing bridges and water supply infrastructure in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.[1] Two water towers that he designed, affectionately named "George and Martha" by local residents, were landmarks on the Lancaster skyline until their demolition in 1996.[2]
