Addison and Randolph Clark

Feedback		Cultural District Virtual Tour
	Former confederat officers Addison and Randolph Clark were denied positions as public school teachers after the civil war by federal laws prohibiting anyone who had fought against the federal government from holding any position of honor or trust in the public sector. The brothers decided to open a private school in Fort Worth which they did in 1868. They held classes in two locations in what is downtown today before the influences of sin became too great and they moved their campus to property near Grandbury, Texas called Thorp Spring in 1873.
