105 West Lincoln Street originally functioned as stable yards for the Presidio County Courthouse in the 1890s. After a central residence was built in 1920, the surrounding structures were gradually converted into casitas. The property operated as apartments for decades, taking on numerous owners and remodels, and was ultimately left abandoned in 2006...
Clark, a fifth-generation Texan, was living in Los Angeles and working as a screenwriter when he was hired to coordinate the Marfa Film Festival in 2013. He lived in Marfa for a year, working on its revival and getting to know the locals. During that time, he took notice of an intriguing patchwork of structures for sale at 105 West Lincoln Street.
When Clark moved back to Los Angeles, he met Adam, an LA-based actor from New England, and they visited Marfa together on a roadtrip in January 2015. After falling in love with the compound, they learned it was under contract. But seeing no harm in trying, they put in a back-up offer... and got it!
With support and guidance from the local community, Adam and Clark lovingly renovated each space with respect to its original footprint and Marfa-inspired custom details. Out of a combination of necessity and genuine excitement, they did all of the designing and much of the rehab themselves.
The Lincoln was named after its street, and was envisioned to be a lodging community where visitors and residents alike could "break bread" over fire-pits and social areas. After finishing initial renovations in 2018, Adam and Clark expanded to the property next door, painted the main house pink, and named it The Mary Todd.
The Lincoln is now a boutique hotel and lodging community where visitors might bump into local Marfans, or even meet the (now-married) owners.
