Code: p0-111 (514 E. Bth, Little Rock, AR)
Physical Description
One of a group of three similar rental houses on small lots along East
Bth Street, this two-story Foursquare house, faced with weatherboards,
and capped with hipped roof with flared eaves, was designed by Charles
Thompson around 1900. The house rests on a high brick foundation,
adding to the vertical orientation. In this popular house type decoration ,
was focused at the dormer and on the. full-length front porches.
The porch is supported by unfluted Ionic columns with brackets under the
eaves of the shed roofed porch. The central dormer features a pediment
roof with louvred vents framed by pilasters. 'Downstairs sash windows '
have one -over -one lights; upstairs windows have six -over -one lights.
Statement of Significance
In about 1910, Charles L. Thompson designed three.rent houses located at
514, 516 and 518 East Eight Street in Little Rock. Located in the
MacArthur Park Historic District, these houses have recently been restored
and are part of a complex known as Cromwell Court. Each house is a
variation of the American Foursquare design and an integral part of a N-
group which represents one of the most cohesive historic environments in
Little Rock. It is the only such Foursquare group designed by Thompson.
Following the Foursquare concept each house is two-story, square, and
capped with a hipped roof. All houses contain a two-story 'projecting
bay and a one-story full length porch with similar Tuscan -like columns
and balustrade on the front facade. The windows and doors of each house
are identical in size and surrounded treatment. All three houses are .
sheathed with weatherboards and set on a brick foundation.
Even though the houses are almost identical in massing, each house
contains its own particular set of classical decorative elements
which distinguish it from the others. Each house is an individualized
part of the whole. -
