Cross-wing

{{Short description|Businessman}}

A cross-wing is an addition to a house, at right angles to the original block of a house, usually with a gable. A cross-wing plan is an architectural plan reflecting this; cross-wing architecture describes the style.

James Stevens Curl, in A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, defines it as a "Wing attached to the hall-range of a medieval house, its axis at right angles to the hall-range, and often gabled."{{cite web|url=https://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780198606789.013.1275 |title=Oxford Index: Cross-wing}}

Cross-wing plans have been used in other eras. For example, during the settlement period in Utah in the late 1800s, original small hall-and-parlor plan houses, often built in vernacular Classical Revival style, were sometimes extended by the addition of a Victorian-style cross-wing.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=97001464}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Oberg/Metcalf House |publisher=National Park Service|author=Julie Osborne |author2=Claudia Davis |date=August 1997 |accessdate=August 12, 2019}} With {{NRHP url|id=97001464|photos=y|title=accompanying five photos from }}
