Biographical Note

Albert Oscar Clarke (1858-1935) was a leading early twentieth-century architect in northwest Arkansas. Born in Medina, New York, Clarke was a partner of a St. Louis firm for over twenty years. In 1904 a commission from the Monte Ne Club and Cottage Company brought him to Rogers, where he remained for the rest of his life, designing buildings throughout northwest Arkansas. Both he and his wife, Grace Emma Brownlee Clarke, were active in community affairs.
