Harold L. Clark
Brigadier General Harold L Clark (September 28, 1893 –1973) was a career officer with the United States Air Force. He was born in Stillwater, Minnesota. He was educated at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois.
As a 1st lieutenant assigned to Kelly Field, Clark had a civilian background in architecture. When plans were announced to build a new Air Corps training facility, Clark designed his vision of an Air City in 1928. He submitted his drawings to Brigadier General Frank Purdy Lahm, who was sufficiently impressed enough to have Clark detailed to work for him as Randolph Air Force Base was built.[1]
His design of the Administration Building became known as the Taj Mahal and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[2] The Randolph Field Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[3] His drawings for Randolph Air Force were donated to the Library of Congress.[4]
Clark served at various U.S. Air Force installations over the next two decades, and during World War II became commander of 52nd Troop Carrier Wing, Army Air Base at Pope Field in North Carolina, and the Troop Carrier Wing in the North African Theater of Operations.[5]
