Clough was born in Maine in 1843, where his father was a noted shipbuilder. Clough moved to Boston in March, 1863, and went to work for the architectural firm of Snell & Gregerson. He was elected the first city architect of Boston in May, 1874, a new position at the time. Clough's influence was prominent in Boston where he is credited with introducing a German system of architecture which made use of constructing buildings around open courts to allow for internal light and ventilation.
