It also reflects the lifestyles of second-generation families who gained wealth from steel and commerce, and is tied to Thomas Wells II, Edward Ford Clark and Clarence Strouss.","narrative":"Wells-Clark-Strouss Residence, also called The Evergreens, is an English Tudor Revival estate in Liberty Township north of Youngstown, Ohio. The main house and a garage with chauffeur's quarters date to about 1913-1914. Between 1923 and 1925 Edward Ford Clark, founder of Newton Steel Company, added a gardener's residence with greenhouse, stables, another garage and a landscape that included terraced gardens, ponds, stone bridges and mature evergreens moved onto the grounds. Youngstown architect Barton E. Brooke designed the later buildings, while the original architect and the landscape designer are unknown. The estate was first built by Thomas Wells II, son of a financier of Youngstown's first steel mill. It was listed because it survives as a rare, mostly complete estate, showing how industrial and merchant wealth shaped country living in the Mahoning Valley. Its stucco and half-timbered buildings, sandstone walls and designed grounds remain recognizable, though some gardens and farm features are gone.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Barton E.
