Edwin Hill Clark
Edwin Hill Clark (April 1878 - January 1967) was a Chicago architect best known for designing public buildings and private residences. His buildings, many of which are located along Chicago's North shore, reflect a wide range of styles from English Tudor to Mediterranean and Spanish. Among his best known works is the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois, which was the first zoo in the United States to display animals in simulated natural environments rather than behind bars. He is also known for his work on the Thorne Rooms, commissioned by Narcissa Niblack Thorne, which are on permanent display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
== Early life ==
Edwin was the youngest of four children born to a well-to-do Chicago family. His father, raised on a poor Vermont farm, became a very successful commodities broker after the Civil War. In 1889 his father quit his commodities business and took the family to live in Europe for two years. When the family returned to the United States, his father purchased the Chicago branch of the Wadsworth Holland paint company.〔“JEWEL PAINT IN CHICAGO FOR 75 YEARS” by Louis Doubrowski, Chicago Daily Tribune, March 26, 1961, p. A14〕 Expecting to enter the family business, after graduating from Phillips Andover Academy, Edwin went on to major in chemistry at Yale in preparation to becoming the company’s technical expert.〔p. A14〕〔The Book of Chicagoans, Edited by Albert Nelson Marquis (Chicago, A.N. Marquis and Company, 1911) p 137〕
Edwin was a talented musician (allegedly the first person in Chicago to play the Saxophone) and sculptor.〔“Front Views and Profiles” by June Provines, Chicago Daily Tribune Dec 10. 1934, p 19〕 His brother, Alson Skinner Clark, was an early American impressionist and went on to be one of the founders of the “California school” of ''en plein aire'' painters.〔Deborah Salon, An American Impressionist: The Art and Life of Alson Skinner Clark (Manchester, Hudson Hills Press, 2005)〕
