The story

Fort Clark was established as a U.S. Army garrison in June 1852. Nine structures designed by U.S.

Army engineers were built in 1873-1874 to house the fort's officers. This house served the fort's commanding officers, including Col. Ranald S.

Mackenzie and Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright.

Architectural features include a central entry, wood-frame porch, six-over-six windows, second floor dormers, and four large chimneys with sculpted caps. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1963
