Architeaser May 30

Posted on by

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).

Here is today’s Architeaser.

Architeaser – May 23

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.
