Built in 1885, Clark House was named after the famous headmaster of Maritzburg College, R.D. Clark, and was at first known as the "Main Building". The building was designed by Philip Dudgeon (who also designed the Standard Bank in Church Street) and was described as "the best example of Collegiate Gothic in Natal and of local brick and tiles". Proclaimed a national monument in 1975. This part of the college was used as a military hospital during the Anglo-Boer War.
