Helen Douglass French (1900–1994) was an American architect. She worked together and independently with her husband, landscape architect Prentiss French. Helen French was born Helen Douglass in Arlington, Massachusetts in 1900. She earned her graduate degree in architecture at the Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Massachusetts in 1921. After school, she worked at various firms in Boston and eventually traveled to Europe, where she studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, returning to the United States in 1927. That year, she married Prentiss French and the couple operated a private practice in Boston and Stockbridge, Massachusetts until 1932 when they relocated to Sarasota, Florida. They worked with architect Clarence Martin for ten years while in Sarasota. The couple then moved to San Francisco when Prentiss was employed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II. There, French received her California certification in 1946. The couple worked in the same office in San Francisco until the 1960s, working together and independently on projects throughout Northern California.
