Biography

Craig Ellwood (April 22, 1922 – May 30, 1992) was an influential Los Angeles-based modernist architect whose career spanned the early 1950s through the mid-1970s.

He was recognized professionally for fusing of the formalism of Mies van der Rohe with the informal style of California modernism.

Married actress Gloria Henry on Sept 30th, 1949 in Santa Barbara, California.
