Clark House, Colonial residence in Hayden Lake, Idaho, United States

Clark House is a colonial residence in Kootenai County containing 29 rooms, including 7 bathrooms, 9 fireplaces, separate quarters for domestic staff, and a billiard room. The structure now operates as a combined restaurant and hotel after undergoing multiple renovations and changes in ownership.

The Clark House 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. It later served as a boys home, a convalescent center for patients from Farragut Naval Hospital, a resort and a restaurant before falling into disrepair. Vacant for 20 years, it was scheduled for a burn exercise in 1988 and restored after Monty Danner bought it in 1989.

F. Lewis Clark, a mining millionaire, built the house in 1910 as a summer residence, and his servants lived in the wings. The American colonial design was long attributed to Kirtland Cutter, but blueprints found in Boise show the architect was George Canning Wales of Boston. After 1989 Monty Danner, a California corporate executive, restored the mansion.
