**Malcolm Stevens Parcell** (January 1, 1896 – March 25, 1987) was an American artist who won the 1925 [Carnegie Prize](/source/Carnegie_Prize).[1]

## Biography

He was born on January 1, 1896, in [Claysville, Pennsylvania](/source/Claysville,_Pennsylvania) to a Baptist minister and later attended [Carnegie Institute of Technology](/source/Carnegie_Institute_of_Technology). He was known for landscapes and portraits. Six of his murals grace the walls of the Pioneer Room at the [George Washington Hotel](/source/The_George_Washington_Hotel_(Pennsylvania)) in [Washington, Pennsylvania](/source/Washington,_Pennsylvania). In 1937 he married Helen Louise Gallagher (1897–1984), a school teacher who had modelled for many of his paintings.[2][3] His brother, [Evans Parcell](/source/Evans_Parcell), was a magazine illustrator.[4] He died on March 25, 1987.[2]

Parcell lived and worked at a home -- Moon Lorn -- in [Prosperity, Pennsylvania](/source/Prosperity,_Pennsylvania) for 62 years. Built on the site of a log cabin that he had played in as a child, Parcell began additional construction at that location in 1925 and continued adding rooms until his death. In 2017 the property was identified as an endangered historic property because it had fallen into disrepair.[3]
