Fort Clark Post Theater

Historical marker location:
Brackettville, Texas
( SW corner of Fort Clark Rd. and Patton Rd., Fort Clark Springs)
Marker installed: 1997

Constructed in 1932, this building replaced an earlier Fort Clark Post Hall that served as a church, courtroom, theater, and recreational center. A utilitarian military design of clear span construction, brick walls, and a stucco veneer, the building also exhibits classical style influences in its pilasters, arched windows, and pediment. A popular movie theater until the fort was closed in 1944, it later became a town hall for the Fort Clark Springs community.

Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1997.
