BOWLING GREEN, Mo. — Old paint has been removed from the south and east exterior walls at Honey Shuck, the Bowling Green home of former U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives and presidential candidate Champ Clark. Givens Construction of Bowling Green is in charge of the project, which also includes replacing railings on the first and second floors and restoring a couple of the front porch posts. A more durable paint will be applied. Work on the north and west sides of the 134-year-old home will be done in 2023. The $48,703 project is being funded from the generosity of benefactors and contributions from the public. The house is maintained by Champ Clark Honey Shuck Restoration Inc.
