Just as flowers can grow inside as well as outside, architectural flowers can be found inside buildings as well as on the exterior. Today’s Architeaser shows one of these.
Yesterday’s Architeaser was a flower on the side of the KATV building. With yesterday being primary election day in Arkansas, that building had even more than its usual amount of activity as races were being covered. The building was designed by George Mann and opened in 1929 as the Worthen Bank Building. In 1970, KATV moved in after the bank had moved into its new Noland Blass-designed skyscraper.
Today’s Architeaser is a flower which sits atop a column.
Yesterday’s Architeaser was one of the blue roses which are found on the Junior League of Little Rock building. Little Rock Architect Theo Sanders designed the building in 1908 as the home for the Elks in Little Rock, with construction occurring in two phases over the next several years as fundraising permitted. In 1927 it was purchased by the Women’s City Club and served as their headquarters until the building was purchased in 2001 by the Junior League of Little Rock. Though the building was renovated and restored, it still bears markings of both original previous tenants as well as the Junior League.
Here is today’s Architeaser. It is one of the rare non-rose flowers on a building in Little Rock.
