Between 1884 and 1888, Clark constructed a 34-room, Tiffany-decorated home on West Granite Street, incorporating the most modern inventions available, in Butte, Montana. This home is now the Copper King Mansion bed-and-breakfast and museum. In 1899 Clark built the Columbia Gardens for the children of Butte. It included flower gardens, a dance pavilion, amusement park, lake, and picnic areas. He continued to serve as Montana's U.S. Senator until March 3, 1907 whereupon he settled for the rest of his days in a Fifth Avenue mansion in Manhattan. His New York City mansion boasted more than 100 rooms, a 15-foot wide marble fireplace, and was full of an impressive collection of European art and Chinese art Clark's house became known as one of the most lavish in the country.
