Harold Clarence Whitehouse (January 31, 1884 - September 25, 1974) was an American architect based in Spokane, Washington.
A native of Massachusetts, Whitehouse moved to Spokane in 1906. He worked for a time in the office of John K. Dow and then formed a partnership with George Keith. He then left Spokane to study architecture at Cornell University. He graduated from Cornell in 1913. With fellow Cornell architecture graduate Ernest V. Price, he formed a partnership, the firm Whitehouse & Price, in 1913. He was elected to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 1959 and won the Allied Art Award in 1961.
Whitehouse was married to Catherine Cox Weston from 1909 to her death in 1964, and later to Ruth W. Thompson until his death.
