It is one of the contributing buildings on the property, together with a spring house and a pergola.","why_significant":"The house is locally significant for architecture as a well-preserved example of Colonial Revival design in rural west-central Pennsylvania. The nomination states it retains integrity in all its composite qualities and is described in a 1984 survey as the finest example of the style in Glen Campbell. It is also associated with Joseph O. Clark, a state senator and coal and oil business leader of the community.","narrative":"Built in 1901 for banker and businessman Joseph Oscar Clark, this two-and-a-half-story wood house in Glen Campbell, Indiana County, is a Colonial Revival design with weatherboard siding, a sandstone foundation and a truncated hipped roof pierced by dormers on all sides. A wraparound veranda, later enclosed in multi-light sash around 1930 as a sunroom, shelters the south façade, which is centered on a Palladian window and a lunette in the pediment of the center gable. The interior keeps its central-passage plan, a carved walnut newel stair, original kitchen and pantry cabinetry, hardwood floors and cast iron radiators. Clark was a partner in several coal, lumber and oil companies, helped found the First National Bank of Glen Campbell, and was appointed to and later elected to the state senate. The house is regarded as the finest Colonial Revival example in the borough, and it is significant as a well-preserved rural interpretation of the style.","period_of_significance":"1901-c. 1930","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The house has been compatibly rehabilitated and retains its historic form, finishes and detail, with minor updating of bathrooms and the kitchen.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:10:27.462886-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/11000646.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000646/dd6ff82eae-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000646/dd6ff82eae-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Senator_Clark_house_in_Glen_Campbell.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Senator_Clark_house_in_Glen_Campbell.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995669","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sen._Joseph_O._Clark_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7449886"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/indiana-county/clark-sen-joseph-o-house-11000646/"}
