Building History
The Seattle architectural firm of Josenhans and Allen designed Clark Hall and its twin, Lewis Hall, both early University of Washington dormitories.
The north wing of Clark Hall was damaged by fire in 1969. Anti-Viet Nam War protesters on campus likely targeted the Naval Officer Training Corps unit using the building. The blaze caused about $75,000 worth of damage. (See Julie Emery, "Regents Ask Bids on $7 Million in Projects," Seattle Times, 03/29/1969, p. 17.)
Alterations
Clark Hall was remodeled in 1937. (See Bob Minichiello, An Architectural Guide to the University of Washington, 1971, Shooting Scripts and Preparatory Information, University of Washington Facilities Office, typescript, 1971.)
