Sculptor, muralist, printmaker, and architect Harold Field Kellogg (b. 1884 - d. 1964) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 26, 1884, son of Charles Field Kellogg and Carrie Isabelle Maury. He graduated from Harvard in 1906 after which he attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, and in 1910 he returned to Boston, working as a draftsman and architect in a number of Boston offices. In 1913, he opened his own office as a sole practitioner, and served as the first chairman of the Boston Housing Authority. He continued his personal pursuit of fine art, entering his works in exhibitions and shows. He moved from Boston to southern California in the late 1940s, where he continued to practice as an architect and was a member of the California Society of Printmakers.

Among his Boston area architectural works were the Roxbury Boys' Club on Dudley (1914), Florence Crittenton League Hospital and Home in Brighton (1924), the Public Services Building at 60 Batterymarch (1928), and the Pierce-Arrow Sales Company at 1065 Commonwealth (1929). He also was a consulting architect to K. M. De Vos and Company in the design of Longwood Towers in Brookline in 1922.

He exhibited at the Annual Gold Medal Exhibitions, The Forty-Second Annual Exhibition, March 18 ~ April 1, 1951 at the Greek Theatre, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California. His original etchings are rare and rarely at auction. His "St. Botolph's Church, The Stump" is included in the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.).
