Regarding Hemingway House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Significant in its representation of the work of the firm Rickon and Thompson, the Hemmingway House at 1720 Arch in Little Rock was constructed ca. 1894. The oldest building in the Charles L. Thompson drawing collection thematic grouping, the house is an important Queen Anne design. … The house was built for the same Supreme Court Judge W. E. Hemmingway as the house in Fayetteville, Arkansas, nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
