Hugh B. Clement (1862) was a skilled architect who played a major role in shaping the city of Detroit’s flourishing residential landscape during the early 20th-century.
His work was a perfect reflection of the era’s emphasis on quality craftsmanship, scale, and stylistic elegance, a perfect reflection of the tastes of the prominent Detroiters who sought out homes along the city’s finest boulevards.
One such neighborhood that was well-loved by the elite of the day was the Arden Park–East Boston Historic District, where Clement designed the Arthur J. Ashdown House at 529 E. Boston Boulevard with the hope of showcasing his natural ability for crafting stately domestic architecture.
Today, the home stands as a model of old-world prestige and influence in an area heralded for its high concentration of architect-designed homes.
