H. Craig Severance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

H. Craig Severance (1879–1941) was an American architect who designed a number of well-known buildings in New York City.

He was once a partner of William Van Alen, but the two separated on unfriendly terms. Severance's best known building, 40 Wall Street, was built in competition with Van Alen's Chrysler Building.
