Henry B. Clarke House
Clarke House may have been modeled on the home of William B. Ogden. The Clarke house is often described as the oldest surviving house in Chicago, although part of the Noble-Seymour-Crippen House in the Norwood Park neighborhood was built in 1833. (However, Norwood Park was not annexed to Chicago until 1893.) The Clarke House was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 14, 1970. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1971.
Frederick W. Clark
Frederick William Clark (August 12, 1857 — February 2, 1916) was an American engineer, builder, and president of Clark Construction Company, which was responsible for many iconic buildings in Chicago from 1902 until 1909. Among the buildings that had the Clark imprint are the Charleston Navy Yard, the Art Institute of Chicago, the old Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Station, and the Schlesinger & Mayer Department Store (later known as the Carson Pirie Scott Building).
