Benjamin Cross House, Main Street, Alexandria, Huntingdon County, PA
Summary
Significance: The Benjamin Cross House is attributed to one of the few known carpenters/builders in 19th century Alexandria. Constructed for himself, the house stands out as a showpiece of Greek Revival detailing, compared to neighboring residences. Architecturally it is vernacular except for the front-facing gable end that is a highly ornamental composition of four Doric pilasters and a deep, dentiled pediment.
