Principal Works
Crossland's three most important commissions were:
- Rochdale Town Hall, built in 1866-71.
- Holloway Sanatorium, built 1873-85. This was a project commissioned by the philanthropist Thomas Holloway, and is located at Virginia Water, Surrey.
- Also commissioned by Thomas Holloway: Founder's Building at Royal Holloway College, Egham, Surrey, built in 1883-88 and a short distance away from the Sanatorium.
The Holloway Sanatorium and Royal Holloway College were inspired by the Cloth Hall of Ypres in Belgium and the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, France, respectively and are considered by some to be among the most remarkable buildings in the south of England.

“With a balanced combination of the two principal energies from mother and father, a girl can both be in touch with her womanly strengths and be a powerful force in the world—strong and nurturing, decisive and caring, goal- oriented and aware of the needs of others. She has the courage to voice what she thinks and feels and the strength to follow her destiny.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
