John Porter Clark
John Porter Clark (1905–1991) was an American architect. He worked with Albert Frey on several projects in Palm Springs, California and was part of the Van Pelt and Lind firm. He has been referred to as a "mid-century modernist", and credited as one of the pioneers of "Desert Modernism", by using local rock, concrete blocks, metal and glass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Desert Delights - Palm Springs )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.psmuseum.org/architecture-design-center/palm-springs-modernism/ )〕 His own house, the John Porter Clark House (1939) in Palm Springs has been described as being in the International Style and as one of the earliest examples of residential Modern architecture in Southern California.〔(Third Annual Preservation Awards ) Palm Springs Modern Committee〕
==Background==
Clark was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa in 1905 to John and Mary Boehn Clark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://digital.lib.washington.edu/architect/architects/181/ )〕
The family relocated to Pasadena, California by 1920 where Clark received his high school education. He worked part-time for Martson, Van Pelt and Mayberry in Pasadena, and at Silvanus Marston's suggestion, Clark enrolled in Cornell University. He graduated in 1928 with a Bachelor of Architecture. After graduating from Cornell, Clark returned to Pasadena where he apprenticed with Garrett Van Pelt, in the architectural firm of Van Pelt and Lind. While working in Pasadena, Clark met Sally and Culver Nichols, a Pasadena realtor who invited him to relocate to Palm Springs. There was more work at that time going on in the desert, because of the Great Depression. Clark was still unlicensed at that time, but with Van Pelt and Lind's permission, he was able to use their license.〔
In 1935, Clark met Albert Frey, who was in Palm Springs supervising the construction of the Kocher-Samson office building. After the completion of the office building, Clark and Frey formed a partnership and completed eight projects from 1935 - 1937. Frey left the partnership in 1937 to work on the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Clark then took over as sole proprietor of the business, until Frey returned to Palm Springs in 1939, and they resumed their partnership. In 1940, Clark completed the architect's licensing exam and was able to pursue commercial projects as well as residential projects. Their work was mainly modernist, a style that influenced the architectural scene into the 1960s.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://psmodcom.org/index.php/john-porter-clark/# )〕
