Criss Cross is a Colonial style brick house built about 1690 by George Poindexter in New Kent County, Virginia. It is similar in style to neighboring Foster's Castle. George Poindexter was the immigrant founder of the Poindexters in America. Originally from Jersey, he settled his family in the Virginia Colony.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
