On Feb 21, 2006, Home and
Garden Television (HGTV) filmed
the Elkhorn Inn & Theatre again,
for Episode 403 of "ReZONED", a
follow-up to HGTV's "Building
Character" program on the Inn
that first aired in December 2004.
New additions to the Elkhorn Inn
since the last filming include our
Gift Shop/Museum room, and our
newly restored Theatre.
In October 26-29, 2004, HGTV
filmed the Elkhorn Inn & Theatre
for "Building Character", HGTV's
program devoted to people who
have transformed commercial
buildings into unique homes.
Each program tells of the history,
motivation and challenges behind
the conversion, and provides a
tour of these one-of-a-kind
dwellings.
"We were thrilled by HGTV's
filming the Elkhorn Inn" said
Elisse Goldstein-Clark. "This is a
wonderful 'thank you' to Dan for
the extraordinary restoration
work he has done, not only to
save this historic building, but to
create something special here.
We are pleased, not only for us,
but by HGTV filming us ATVing &
fishing here in McDowell County,
part of the dream we had when
we first embarked on this great
adventure, undertaking this
rather monumental task".
Referring to the building as "Dan
& Elisse's Really Big House", the
Clarks have welcomed guests
from across the country and
overseas in the four years since
they bought the building and
began their restoration. On West
Virginia's "Coal Heritage Trail",
the building is one of the last
surviving historic buildings in the
area, and the Clarks have left
many of the original architectural
details they uncovered intact,
including the coal company
pay-window, hemlock bannister,
original transom room windows
and turn-of-the-century tile
flooring.
Purchasing the 1922 Empire Coal
and Coke Company "Miner's
Clubhouse" in 2002, they saved it
from demolition and have
restored it from the roof to their
newly-laid marble floor,
transforming it into both their
home and the Elkhorn Inn
bed-and-breakfast. "Elisse's fine
arts and gallery background is
what really makes our home
unique," said Dan. "Because of
her design capabilities, we have
been able to create an art-filled
home that culls inspiration from a
variety of sources. She is my
inspiration and the reason this is
such a special place." It's truly
amazing to live in such an historic
building", said Elisse. "It really
seems like a palace sometimes,
with the archways and balcony- I
call it my "palazzo italiano nella
montagni di West Virginia", and
Dan my Medici. We really are
living in a piece of local history:
we've found coal-core samples in
the building and are collecting
exhibits so as to eventually have
a small museum on the premisis. I
feel we are so lucky to be able to
live here and do this! McDowell
County is full of wonderful
historic buildings similar to ours
that we hope others will save and
restore".
