John E. Clark is a Civil War Veteran of the Maine 27th Regiment, Company H, Infantry, protecting Washington, D.C. during the war, from 1862 to 1863 (9 months). A prominent contractor and builder, hotels, business blocks, and residences, and hundreds of cottages. Admired horses and owned trotting horses. First Fire Chief of Bar Harbor Fire Department, member of the secret orders including the Masons and Knights of Pythias.
John Clark, originally from Surry, Maine, began his career in Bar Harbor as the contractor for the West End Hotel. The owner stipulated that the building needed to be completed in seventy-five days. Clark beat that mandate, with more than nine days to spare. Among the three hundred or so cottages he designed or built in the area, the Turrets and Stanwood are probably his best known construction jobs. He was well known for his engineering skills. When the Marlborough Hotel needed to be moved three blocks down Main Street and out-of-town firms refused the job, Clark planned and supervised the move without a hitch.
He divorced Teresa Elizabeth Jordan on November 1, 1890 and remarried Helen A. Campbell.
John Clark was a democrat, and owned several prominent trotting horses. John E. Clark autopsy indicated that he had hardening of the arteries and was in a feeble condition.
