Neoclassical architecture in Little Rock
Neoclassical buildings borrow the columns, pediments and symmetry of Greek and Roman temples. In the United States the label covers a long wave of public and institutional building from the 1890s into the 1930s.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1900 to 1932. 11 stops, 2.1 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.

Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops.
