Harold Clarence Whitehouse (January 31, 1884[1] - September 25, 1974[2]) was an American architect based in Spokane, Washington.[3][4]

A native of Massachusetts, Whitehouse moved to Spokane in 1906. He worked for a time in the office of John K. Dow and then formed a partnership with George Keith. He then left Spokane to study architecture at Cornell University. He graduated from Cornell in 1913.[2] With fellow Cornell architecture graduate Ernest V. Price, he formed a partnership, the firm Whitehouse & Price, in 1913.[3] He was elected to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 1959 and won the Allied Art Award in 1961.[2]

Whitehouse was married to Catherine Cox Weston from 1909 to her death in 1964, and later to Ruth W. Thompson until his death.[2]

Works of Whitehouse or the firm (with attribution) include:

Christ Episcopal Church, Puyallup, Washington


On September 25, 1974, Whitehouse died at age 90 in a Spokane convalescent center.[2] Whitehouse's papers, including original drawings, are housed at the Eastern Washington State Historical Society.[8][13]
