Home to Clark presidents, Harrington House is on Woodland Street, an historic area of the neighborhood lined with beautiful Victorian houses. Part of the University Park Partnership's mission is to improve the quality of life in Worcester’s Main South neighborhood by encouraging more home ownership and a sense of community. As members of a community where Clark's presidents live side by side with their Main South neighbors, Clark's current President, John Bassett and his wife, Kay, play an integral part in the neighborhood.
In addition to Clark's president, several Clark faculty and staff live in Main South as well. As part of the partnership's neighborhood revitalization plan, Clark faculty and staff are given opportunities to purchase homes in the neighborhood and receive financial assistance for the first five years of ownership.
