Clarence True

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clarence True was an American architect in New York City during the last decade of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century.

[edit] Early life

True was the son of an Episcopal clergyman from College Point, Queens. The family moved to Manhattan and by 1890 True was working in the same office building as developer Charles G. Judson.[1]

[edit] Career

About 1890 Judson hired True, at that point a newly established architect. The same year, True planned his first row houses on the West Side of New York City. In 1891 he designed buildings at 157 and 159 West 88th Street, the low stoop row houses were each constructed for US$12,000 a piece.[1]
