Clementine Barker Dickinson, built the house in 1882 so their children could receive a better education than they could at their plantation in Harrell, Ark. The Little Rock house has ties to three U.S. presidents:
• Cornelia Dickinson was a cousin of Ulysses S. Grant, whom she said came from a “branch of the family that was not on the right side during the War Between the States.”
• A young Herbert Hoover rented an upstairs room in the Dickinson House while he was working for the Arkansas and United States Geological Surveys.
• Bill Clinton had breakfast in the house with its owners, Jerry and Carolyn Staley, the day after he won the 1992 presidential election.
