                    A LITTLE (ROCK) BIT OF PRAIRIE


   Others may argue that this is not officially Prairie Style Architecture, but the shallow roof, wide eaves, and vertical design to the windows yells Wrightesque to me. I need to get away from the 'esque' thing, I guess. Exposed rafter tails and divided columns lend it an Arts and Crafts note, but that's just the nose and not the total palette.
   Located somewhere on the south part of the Central High Historic District in Little Rock, Arkansas, it just grabbed me and wouldn't let me go until I took its picture and promised to make it famous. Or so it thinks.
   It's a beautiful house, nonetheless, and one of only a handful of Prairie houses in The Rock.
