H. Page Cross

Howard Page Cross (August 23, 1910 – August 28, 1975) was an architect who practiced in New York City, active between the years 1945 and 1975. He was notable for having designed in the classical manner during a time when most American architects had abandoned it in favor of modernism.

Cross was born on August 23, 1910, and grew up in New York City. He was the son of John Walter Cross, an architect in the firm Cross and Cross. He graduated from the Groton School (1928) Yale College (Bachelor of Arts, 1932) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Bachelor of Architecture, 1936), and served in the armed forces during World War II as a major in the Marine Corps.

He worked in partnership with his father, as Cross and Son, until 1951, and after his father's death as Page Cross Architect.

Cross died on August 28, 1975, at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City, following heart surgery.
