Yesterday’s Architeaser was a pair of squirrels on a frieze on a building at the southwest corner of Louisiana and Fourth Streets. The frieze is over the building’s front door which is actually on the corner.
Here is today’s Architeaser.

Architeaser – June 4
Yesterday’s Architeaser featured wrought iron dragons which grace the doorways to the Pulaski County Courthouse on Markham Street. There are three sets of these dragons which were incorporated to the George Mann designed structure.
Here, for today, is another set of mythical creatures.
Architeaser – June 3
Yesterday’s Architeaser was one of the masks on the side of Robinson Center Music Hall. Built from 1937 to 1939, it was designed by George Wittenberg and Lawson Delony, as well as associate architect Eugene Stern in a modified art deco style with neo-classical elements.

June’s first Architeaser was one of the dozens of persons sculpted into the wall of the Justice Building on the State Capitol grounds. The wall surrounds the court chambers in an addition which was completed in 1976 and designed by Noland Blass Jr.

Yesterday’s Architeaser was one of the terra cotta faces emerging from the facade of the original part of the Pulaski County Courthouse. Designed by Maximilian A. Orlopp in Romanesque Revival style, the building features ornate imagery in the red painted portions of the building which frame the stone work and roof line. The building was built from 1887 to 1889.
Today’s Architeaser is not a George Mann nor a Pulaski County Courthouse face.

May’s penultimate Architeaser was one of the helmeted heads which overlook doors to the Pulaski County Courthouse. Like the May 29 Genies and Union Life Building, the Courthouse and helmeted heads were the brainchild of George R. Mann. The courthouse was an expansion of the original 1880s courthouse which this adjoins. Mann did not try to duplicate the architecture of the original structure but instead built an impressive neo-classical “governmental” building which has a more timeless look than the original structure.

Yesterday’s Architeaser was one of the four genies on the facade of the Centre Place building located at 212 Center Street. The building was designed by George R. Mann and was constructed between 1911 and 1917. In 1981 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Mann’s design was heavily influenced by buildings being constructed in Chicago at the time and also includes Beaux Arts elements (of which the genies are).
