rejuvenating the neighborhood. Thus, the vision
strives for the house to be an idyllic location
as a small event venue or for local community
gatherings. Professionals can also use the
facility for professional development training
seminars/workshops, business meetings, or mini
conferences. Short-term and overnight rental (i.e.,
AirBnb) as a unique component to the effective use
of the property during the year.
The property is within the boundaries of the Little
Rock Central High School National Historic Site.
The target audience are heritage tourists from both
locally and globally. Proposed use of the property
shall be first accommodating the needs of short-term
overnight rental guests. In regards to other than
short-term rental usage, the property shall be
available seven days a week from eight o'clock in the
morning to 9 o'clock in the evening. With regard to
parking, there is an existing concrete paved parking
lot (four slots and one handicap slot) accessible from
Park Street."
"Short-term Leasing (i.e., AirBnb)
The owner shall enact, upon approval of this PCD
application, the services of a local property
management company (host) to also manage the
process of inspecting the house (before and after
guest usage); cleaning the house; stocking the basic
amenities for the guests as well as being the local
contact for guests on behalf of the Owner. The intent
is that only one entity (guest) shall occupy the house
— no multiple bookings during the same stay period.
The Owner lives out-of-state and shall occupy the
house as their residence during visits to Little Rock.
No events or airbnb guests shall occur during the
Owner's stay."

overnight rental is a unique component to the effective use of the property during the year.
The property is within the boundaries of the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site.
