'A Star-Studded Past'
Construction on the Clark Building began in 1927. Named for MGM founder James Bly Clark, the site quickly became a business and
relaxation center for nationally famous film magnates. The building served as a screening area for many early MGM films, and
Warner Brothers' regional office was located in the penthouse suite.
Today's Clark Building boasts a restored grand entrance - an extension of the vibrant cultural district in which the building
resides.
Architectural experts have long admired the decor of the Clark Building - including marble hallways, window moldings and brass
elevators. For over 75 years the building's 23 floors have housed jewelers, offices and specialty shops.
