Architeaser – April 18
Yesterday’s Architeaser featured an eagle over the door of the 1924 building which once housed the Federal Reserve and is now one of the buildings on the eStem campus in downtown.
Today we return to another leonine building decoration.
February Frieze Frame Friday
Each Friday in February, the Little Rock Culture Vulture will feature a frieze which can be found in Little Rock.
Today’s frieze is inspired by friezes from ancient cultures showing a laborer at work. The shirtless and muscular nature of the man is evocative of friezes that can be seen today in Greek or Roman ruins. His hair, breeches and shoes are more in keeping with the late 1700s/early 1800s as is the style of the printing press.
It is found, fittingly, on an annex to the Arkansas Gazette building, which now houses the lower grades of the eStem Public Charter School.
