4H HOUSE
In 1932, the Arkansas Council of Home
Demonstration Clubs established the
first Women's 4H House in America at the
University of Arkansas. Nine students lived in
the house during its first year, but it proved
so popular that the Council began raising
money for a larger more permanent building.
A stone house was built on this corner
in 1951 and was home each year to 40
women who paid $35 per month in cash
or commodities. In 1977, it was sold to a
fraternity and later used as a residence by
other groups before being torn down in
2003 to make way for the Garland Center.
1951 - 2003
Architect E. Chester Nelson designed the building which included living
space, a game room, 20 bedrooms, a glassed in porch and a music room.
