RE: Kempner House, 522 S. Rock St., Little Rock, PU2797
Dear Ms. Smith,
I am writing to follow up on our email correspondence regarding your plans for the relocation of HVAC equipment at
521 S. Rock Street. The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program holds a perpetual preservation easement on this
property which makes us a partner in preservation decisions concerning alterations to the site. From review of the
photos and specifications you provided (see attached) it does not appear any significant effect on sight lines or damage
to any historically significant feature of the property will result from the relocation as proposed. In consequence of
this finding, I gave informal authorization under the terms of the easement for the removal and relocation of the HVAC
equipment by email on August 18, 2020. This letter serves as formal confirmation of that approval for your records.
Thank you for being a good steward of this important historic resource and letting us partner with you in its
preservation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at catherine.barrier@arkansas.gov or
501.324.9186.
Sincerely,
Catherine Barrier

Sherrie—
I will send you an approval letter for the easement purposes in the next few days and copy Brian so

Sherrie,
Thanks for the photos. I am forwarding this to Catherine Barrier for her files.
I talked to the Contractor on the phone, and he said that the electric service line will run along the
building behind the generator to the panel on the other side. The condensing lines will run directly
under that house and will not be mounted on the wall.
Thanks for your patience with us. Just dotting the ’I’s and crossing the ‘t’s.

Smaller units like these are the new ones DD&F is using:
Old units – tall one needs to be replaced – the other will eventually need to move
Space for new unit we need to install today (if possible) and one more future unit. All will be set
on concrete pads.
Current view from 6th street – I am sure the apartment tenants will appreciate less noise under
their window; marked where new units will go.
