While often the Pulaski County Historical Society hears presentations at its meetings, today the meeting focuses on a tour of a historic Little Rock residence. Refreshments start at 2pm with the tour commencing at 2:30pm.

The Holtzman-Vinsonhaler House stands on the northeast comer of Ninth and Commerce Streets, in Little Rock. This large brick home was constructed about 1898 by William D. Holtzman, a contractor.  Holtzman also built the house two doors to the east, the Holtzman-Vinsonhaler-Vogler House, designed in the Queen Anne Revival style and constructed in the early 1890s (note the stained glass window on its porch) and the W. D. Holtzman house three doors to the east, constructed about 1905 and designed in the Colonial Revival style.  The extended Holtzman family built and/or occupied almost the entire 500 block of East Ninth Street at various times from the 1850s through the 1930s.

Join the PCHS for this wonderful tour to learn the full rich history of one of Little Rock’s most prominent residences.
