Note:
The Clark Hotel on Broadway
"When the county was organized, the Clark Hotel served as the
county courthouse from 1911-1912 until a permanent courthouse could
be built. Begun in 1901, the main portion was built in 1905-06. It
was the first permanent structure built in Van Horn. It was converted
into a hotel in 1918 by Fred Clark." - Terry

Note:
The Duke's Castle in Van Horn
"Courthouse photographers should note that the burned ruins of
this building across from the Culberson County courthouse are not
the ruins of an old courthouse. Built as a private residence in 1910,
it was later bought by a man known as the Duke D'Autri who remodeled
it to resemble his family's home in Europe. Even in this state, it
is still more compelling than the current courthouse." - Terry
