New Roof For Clark House
Recently, a new roof was completed on the Clark House at Clark Botanic Garden. According to Town of North Hempstead officials, the $365,000 project is part of the five-year capital plan, a project that included repair work such as new shingles, new soffits and new gutters. The Clark House was built in the 1880s as a two-story farmhouse and stayed that way until 1923 when the Clark family took occupancy and converted the structure into a country estate. Throughout the year, the house holds photo exhibits, educational programs and other events for the public.
