Clarence Mack (b.1888 d.1982)

For 32 houses he designed in Northern Ohio between 1914 and 1938, Clarence Mack adapted established traditional exterior styles to the needs of his clients. Closest are those in Lakewood , Rocky River , Shaker Heights and Mansfield . He used classic proportions, symmetry and doorways that brought the details of French eclectic style and Georgian architecture to these buildings. The interiors were equally carefully designed, elegant and polished. Clarence Mack was one of the architects that designed houses on South Park Boulevard and South Woodland Road where the developers, Oris and Mantis Van Sweringen reserved lots for houses built by Cleveland architects.
