The Clark House is a historic house in Clarksville, Idaho. It was built in 1910 as a summer residence for F. Lewis Clark, a mining millionaire who disappeared in Santa Barbara in 1914 and was believed to have committed suicide.[2] Clark's servants lived in the wings.[2] The house was designed in the American colonial style and has been attributed to architect Kirtland Cutter;[2] however, blueprints discovered in Boise, ID show that the actual architect was George Canning Wales of Boston.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 12, 1978.[1]
Since its construction, in addition to serving as a residence, it has been used as a boys home, convalescent center for patients from the Farragut Naval Hospital, resort, and a restaurant before falling into disrepair.[4] After being vacant for 20 years, the Kootenai County scheduled the building to be used in a burn exercise in 1988. The mansion was purchased in 1989 by Monty Danner, a corporate executive from California who restored the house.[4]
