George A. Clough was born in 1843 at Bluehill, Maine, United States.
A graduate of the Bluehill Academy.
He went to Boston to study architecture in the office of Snell & Gregerson, and after a period of adequate training, in 1869 established his own office in the city. Mr. Clough's work included a number of creditable municipal buildings, of which schools were the most notable, churches and other structures in Boston and elsewhere. The English High School and the Latin High on Montgomery Street built in 1877 and still in constant use were his most important city schools, and the Suffolk County Court House in Pemberton Square, erected in 1888-89, his largest public building. Among the churches he designed were St. Mark's (before 1897)** and the Gate of Heaven Church in Boston. Later works, under the name of Clough & Warder, include the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea, and the new St. Patrick’s church in Chelsea .
