Built in 1894 for Fred Clark, librarian at the Hearst Free Public Library, the elegant residence boasted all the latest conveniences including steam heat and electric lights. Classical elements such as Tuscan columns and a gabled portico enrich the Queen Anne style so favored during the Victorian era. An octagonal tower, gabled dormers, and wraparound veranda with balconette above heighten the characteristic Queen Anne asymmetry, while granite-capped windows and decorative shingles add varied textures to the wall surfaces. Arched doors and windows showcase the skills of builder/contractor J. P. Dolan. Dolan, who was also a skilled mason, and his partner John Hamill were Anaconda’s leading contractors in the 1890s. Except for a 1990 addition sensitively designed to blend with the historic appearance, this West Side residence is a district centerpiece and one of Anaconda’s many well-preserved period homes.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/f6eb39b2-160f-4978-a9f3-ba71da4d956c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about the West Side Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/fc7ee20d-a21f-44a3-ad06-b4fca7b264a5/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the West Side Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/72e6fceb03620a2acd5811e273348595.jpg":{"id":856,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Fred Clark Residence","description":"View of facade | ExploreBig.org | April 2019 | Joe Furshong","thumbnail":"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/72e6fceb03620a2acd5811e273348595.jpg"},"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/4fccff4ee7a25f52f52bb678f6a91878.jpg":{"id":857,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Fred Clark Residence","description":"View of turret and corner porch detail | ExploreBig.org | April 2019 | Joe Furshong","thumbnail":"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/4fccff4ee7a25f52f52bb678f6a91878.jpg"},"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/fullsize/2b3f51877fff6f7d27f63918285154f3.jpg":{"id":858,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Fred Clark Residence","description":"View of side elevation and turret | ExploreBig.org | April 2019 | Joe Furshong","thumbnail":"https://mail.historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/2b3f51877fff6f7d27f63918285154f3.jpg"}}}
