C. Howard Crane

His designs include Detroit's Fox Theatre and Olympia Stadium, as well as LeVeque Tower in Columbus, Ohio, which remains that city's second tallest building.

[1][2] Like Thomas W. Lamb and John Eberson, Crane specialized in the design of movie palaces in North America.

Most of his many downtown Detroit movie palaces had attached office towers that he designed (the Fox, United Artists, State, Capitol).

Crane's most famous U.K. commission was Earls Court Exhibition Centre, an Art Moderne convention center that opened in 1937.

His namesake descendants (C. Howard Crane III, et al.) now live in the Detroit area.
