Other NoteWilliam Andrews Clark, Jr. was born in Deer Lodge, Montana in 1877, the youngest son of copper baron and United States Senator William Andrews Clark, Sr. and his wife Katherine. Clark, Jr. graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor's degree in Law in 1899, and was admitted to the bar of Montana and the Federal Courts a year later. From 1900 until 1907, he was partner in the law firm Clark & Roote in Butte, Montana. He moved to Los Angeles in 1907. Later in that decade, he began to collect antiquarian and fine press books. In 1919, he hired bibliographer Robert E. Cowan as a consultant on book-buying; in the same year, he founded the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1926, the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library building, designed by Robert D. Farquhar and dedicated to Clark, Jr.'s father, was completed. Clark, Jr. died in 1934 at Salmon Lake, Montana, and was interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (formerly Hollywood Cemetery).
