Re: Second Baptist Church v. Little Rock Historic
District, 86-308, Arkansas Supreme Court
Dear Mr. McGowan:
On behalf of the Little Rock Historic District, I
would like to extend our sincere appreciation to you for
filing an amicus curiae brief in the above matter. We
have read your brief and believe that it is a necessary
addition to the arguments the City has made in this
matter.
As pointed out in your brief, the purpose of
historic districts should be the paramount consideration
in reviewing any particular decision of the commission.
The fact that so many courts throughout the Country have
agreed with this position offers us greater comfort with
our decision in this case. We are hopeful that the
Arkansas Supreme Court will agree with you.
Please extend our thanks and appreciation to the
Quapaw Quarter Association for a job well done.
Sin rely,
Sam Strauss, Jr., Chairman
Little Rock Historic District
Commission
