Benton, the four-story and basement Clark Home is U-shaped in plan. A reinforced concrete and steel structure measuring 200' x 132', it has symmetrical massing and regular fenestration. Built into a hillside, the building &quot;U&quot;-shape faces west, framing a raised landscape berm and entry terrace. The resulting sloping front lawn is surrounded by a brick retaining wall on three sides. Although the recent rehabilitation project has repartitioned some interior spaces, and added an entrance on one wing of the ground floor, the historic integrity of the building is almost completely intact.<br /> <br /> The Mary Andrews Clark Memorial Horne is eligible for the National Register under Criterion C, due to its significant architectural style.
