1. Little Rock City Hall Marker

Inscription. On this site (120 to 122 West Markham) in January 1868, a new Little Rock City Halil opened after construction started in 1867. It served as the seat of Little Rock government until April 1908, when the present city hall opened. After city offices moved out, the building housed private businesses until it was demolished in 1964 as part of urban renewal efforts. In honor of the 150th anniversary of the building the City of Little Rock places this plaque in April 2018 to pay tribute to the city leaders who met here for forty years.
