Clark House is an early 20th century Italianate home in Hobsonville, Auckland, New Zealand, listed as a Category I building by Heritage New Zealand. Construction on the house began in the late 1890s as the family home for Rice Owen Clark II, a wealthy owner of a nearby pottery business. Clark House is unique in being constructed from hollow ceramic blocks, a technique invented by Thomas Edwin Clark.
