'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Hotel Clark in downtown Derby

Turnback Tuesday remembers the Hotel Clark that was located near the Sterling Opera House at 100 Elizabeth Street in Derby. 
The Hotel was built on the same site as the former Bassett House which burned down in 1911. 
Hotel Clark opened in 1914 and was named in honor of Charles E. Clark, a prominent citizen in Derby. It was a spacious, three-story brick building which became the leading hotel in the area. Hotel Clark was closed in 1951.
