overview
2024 MacArthur Park Historic District Design Guidelines Comprehensive UpdateThe City of Little Rock, Arkansas has a rich diversity of historic buildings, structures, and sites representative of the quintessential southern city, with charming and architecturally eclectic homes. The MacArthur Park Historic District embodies these qualities, having irreplaceable resources that define the city’s history and image. To help preserve these assets, the City of Little Rock has embarked on a comprehensive update to the historic district’s design guidelines.
The updated Design Guidelines for the MacArthur Park Historic District will focus on the conservation and maintenance of the unique architecture, features, and characteristics found in the District. Further, the Guidelines will provide standards and recommendations for property maintenance, material and architectural feature preservation, and compatible infill development in relation to the overall historic character of the District.
A successful Design Guidelines document depends on community input. As stewards of this remarkable heritage, the Little Rock Historic District Commission asks you to share your perspectives on preserving the past while shaping a vibrant future for the District.
