Little Rock has some amazing historic homes, especially around the capitol area. On a shorter walk the other day, I came across the Joseph M. Frank House built in 1900. A house like this today would be incredibly expensive to build. I'm not sure you could find a contractor able to accomplish these kinds of details. (This house is for sale!)
If you really want to see details, look at the original Pulaski County Courhouse. My photo of the upper building from the ground doesn't do it justice.
During my walk I also passed many modern office buildings. A hundred years from now, will anyone stop in their tracks to marvel at its stunning architectural design and details? I don't think so. Will it even be standing a hundred years from now, or is it so nondescript that it will have been demolished and replaced by something even newer?
