Brian,
Regarding 904-906 Commerce, you should look at the 1897 and 1913
Sanborn Insurance Maps -- available online (you probably know this)
at this web address:

Unfortunately, this part of Little Rock isn't shown on maps earlier
than 1897. But on page 23 of the 1897 map, I'm pretty sure you see
at 421 E. 9th St. (southwest corner of 9th and Commerce, facing 9th
St.) the house that's now at 904-906 Commerce. On page 187 of Volume
2 of the 1913 map, the house is in its current location (and has lost
a side porch and gained a little addition at the rear). Also on the
1913 map, the existing 2-story house at 900 Commerce has been built
on the corner lot.
In other words, sometime between 1897 and 1913, the house was moved
south a lot or two and turned to face Commerce, making way for new
construction on the corner.
This solved a mystery for me. The house looks like it originally was
built in the late 1880s or early 1890s, but it doesn't show up on the
Sanborn map that early -- until you see it in a slightly different location.
Cheri
P.S. Because of the configuration of the window panes, I suspect the
existing windows date from the early 20th century, maybe when the
house was moved -- but that doesn't mean they should be replaced with
vinyl ones now!
