History
15
The Clark Hotel was the first permanent structure in Van Horn. Its earliest portion, built in 1901, housed the original city post office. The main portion was built in 1905-06 by John Cox of concrete blocks handmade by a crew on site. In 1911-12, when Culberson was newly organized, it served as the county courthouse. Until 1918, when Fred Clark converted it to a hotel, the building was the site of theatrical programs and school graduations and housed a saloon, offices, and all kinds of shops.
