The Mary Andrews Clark Memorial Home is a four-story, 76,000-square-foot French Revival Chateauesque brick structure in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, built in 1913 by copper magnate William A. Clark as a memorial to his mother. Originally constructed as a YWCA home for young working women, the building operated in that capacity until 1987, when damage from the Whittier Narrows earthquake forced its closure. It reopened in 1995 as housing for low-income single workers. Designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building remains a significant example of early twentieth-century Chateauesque residential architecture in the city.
