Architeaser April 4
Yesterday’s Architeaser was from the Spanish revival building at 6th and Center Streets (which houses E.J.’s restaurant and several other businesses).
Today’s Architeaser features columns on a building. While many buildings in Little Rock have columns, this building is known more for other architectural features. Many people who pass this building probably don’t even pay attention to the columns on it.
