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

Early life and education

Page Cross was born in 1910 and grew up in New York City, 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.[1]

gollark: However, the "trusted" bit of the name is a misnomer, in that it's "trusted" by arbitrary companies of some kind and not the user themselves.

gollark: It has some nice-for-users features like that you can, say, make your disk's contents unreadable if you take it out and stick it in another computer (without also having the TPM to do things to).

gollark: It's basically a bit of hardware built into the CPU for storing secret keys the user isn't meant to be able to access.
