About edit

Clark was born August 11, 1866, in Syracuse, New York.[2][3]

He studied at Syracuse University and earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1886, and a Master of Arts degree in 1891.[2] The same year, in 1891 he married Hanna Grace Birge of Hector, New York.[2] From 1888–1889, he was the Director of State Schools and an instructor of trade school at Elmira Reformatory.[4][5] He taught Architecture courses at Syracuse University between 1889–c.1892.[2][4]

Clark and his wife studied painting with William Merritt Chase in Art Students League of New York in 1898 and with John Henry Twachtman and James Whistler in Paris.[2][5]

Clark moved to California in 1892, settling in the College Terrace neighborhood of Palo Alto.[1] He joined Stanford University 1893, during the early days of the school.[6][7] He taught graphic design and art classes at Stanford University from 1893 until 1931, when he retired.[2] Students of Clark included artist Jennie V. Cannon.[8]

During the summers when Stanford University classes were out of session, Clark would work as a freelance architect in the Palo Alto-area designing private residencies.[1]

In 1903, Clark spearheaded a movement to incorporate the town of Mayfield, California and was named the town's first mayor.[1] Mayfield was a town that bordered Stanford University and at the time was a popular destination for rowdy bars.[9] While serving as Mayor Clark banned bars from the town, which allowed the town to flourish and grow.[1] He later served as the chairman of the Planning Commission.[1] The town of Mayfield became part of Palo Alto on July 6, 1925.[9]

Clark was a founder and a member of the Pacific Arts Association, and a member of the American Committee for the International Congress of Art Education, the Palo Alto Art Club (now known as Pacific Art League), and California Teachers Association.[2][10]

Clark died May 15, 1948, in Palo Alto, California, and he is buried at Alta Mesa Memorial Park.
