The Barn Café –
This café was located inside the Clarence
Parker Hotel in downtown Minot. Both the Clarence Parker and the Leland Parker
Hotel had café’s in their hey day. The Clarence Parker Hotel actually began as
an office building. George Valker, Sr. started construction on the office
building in 1920. It was never finished and was left vacant for about 20
years., except for birds roosting in the incomplete top stories, hence it was
known as the “Sparrow Hotel”. After WWII, Clarence Parker completed the
construction and created the Clarence Parker Hotel.
