Date of Construction: 1939
A single-story, brick and stone masonry commercial building. The facade features cream-colored brick with sandstone trim, glass block and structural black glass insets. It is supported by a concrete and sandstone foundation and covered with a flat, built-up gravel and tar roof set behind a raised parapet coped with concrete.
Designed by the Little Rock architectural firm of Wittenberg, Deloney and Davidson, this structure was designed to carry a second floor. The original plans indicate the allowance for the construction of a hotel atop the present building which never materialized. The streamlined, Art Moderne influence in this otherwise spare building is displayed through the use of the black glass insets at the tops of the pilasters, the use of the glass block set in an alternating, checkerboard pattern, and the decorative, geometric patterning of the brick only on the pilasters so as to draw the eye and distinguish them from the surface of the facade.
