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]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Architecture of Spokane, Washington</span> Overview of the architecture in Spokane, Washington

Spokane and its neighborhoods contain a patchwork of architectural styles that give them a distinct identity and illustrate the changes throughout the city's history. Spokane has a rich architectural history for a western city of its size and much of it is a product of its circumstances at the turn of the 20th century when as a rapidly growing city, the Great Fire of 1889 destroyed 32 blocks of the city center which was quickly rebuilt in a more grand fashion by a community flush with money coming from regional mining districts. Many of the architects that found work in the city and building on the blank slate of the downtown commercial district became highly esteemed architects such as Kirtland Cutter, who has been credited with giving the city a distinctive character. In particular, the city has a high concentration of Romanesque Revival style institutional and commercial buildings and American Craftsman bungalow residences. The architecture of Spokane gained national recognition in industry publications in the early 20th century.
