Shortly after the 1901 Fire, this building was constructed for Charles A. Clark, a funeral director and embalmer.  Along with his brother George Clark, he was first employed in the undertaking business by Calvin Oak  (see D-96).  In 1889 Charles Clark purchased Oak's business and continued the company, which had been founded in 1856. This building served as Clark's funeral home as well as his private residence. The upper two floors of the three-story structure retain most of their original appearance, but the lower floor has been severely altered.  The building reflects the influence of the Second Renaissance Revival style, evidenced by the fact that each of its floors is articulated in a different manner.  The building is topped by a pressed-metal cornice and parapet that features a decorative urn and an inscription of the date "1902."  In 1914 the building was converted into a movie theatre, known as the "Republic" and later the "Roxy," which seated over 700 people and boasted having a "radium gold fibre screen guaranteed not to hurt the eyes."
