Services
The Avera-Clarke House was built in 1890 by Judge Thomas Clarke, a civil war veteran who fought in the Battle for Atlanta.
After the Civil War ended, he studied law in Georgia, came to Monticello in the late 1800's to open a law practice, was a signor on the Second Florida Constitution, and founded the Farmers and Merchants Bank (FMB is still thriving and one of the oldest independant banks in Florida).
His Son, S.D. Clarke, also became a judge and was the last Clarke to occupy this House.
S.D. Clarke was President of the Florida Senate for many years during the mid 1900's and ran the "Pork Chop" Gang in Florida politics.
