The Clark House is a unique example of the Eastlake style in Fullerton. Moved to the Fullerton

Arboretum from its original location at 114 North Lemon Street in 1972, the house was subsequently restored over a number of years and has been given the name Heritage House. The original gabled roof had to be removed for the move; a new roof as well as a double chimney was reconstructed, identical to the original. The interior has been fully restored and refurbished with furniture and medical equipment of the era. A new ramp for handicap accessibility was constructed on the backside.

The Clark House is one of the oldest surviving homes constructed within the city’s original townsite. This exquisite home provides a valuable memory of the appearance of a prominent residence in Fullerton around the turn of the century.
