Ada Louise Huxtable

Huxtable began working at The New York Times in 1963 and was a groundbreaker in bringing architecture criticism to an American newspaper. In her time there, she also was the first winner of the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, in 1970. Huxtable, a native New Yorker, later went to work for The Wall Street Journal and had pieces published as recently as last month. After graduating from Hunter in 1941, she attended New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. Huxtable's husband died in 1989, and she has no survivors.
