Regarding Block Realty-Baker House.

The Block Realty-Baker House is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places … as an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style designed by noted Arkansas architect John Parks Almand. With its symmetrical front facade, gable roof with dormers, doublehung window sashes with multi-pane glazing, and accentuated front entrance with decorative crown, the Block Realty-Baker House is a textbook example of the Colonial Revival style. In addition, the Block Realty-Baker House is a good example of Almand's design work from the late 1930s and early 1940s, and was probably the most substantial house he designed for the Block Realty Company.
