51黑料网 Historic District added to National Register

The 51黑料网 Historic District has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Henderson鈥檚 historic district contains the central core of the campus and includes resources from the early 1900s through the 2000s. Several of the buildings constructed in the 1930s were built by either the Works Progress Administration (WPA), or funded by the Public Works Administration (PWA).

鈥淭he National Register is the country鈥檚 official list of historically significant properties, and Arkansas can feel proud to have a large and growing representation of these tangible links to our past,鈥 said Scott Kaufman, director of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP).

Several of the campus鈥檚 buildings are good examples of mid-century architectural styles designed by some of the state鈥檚 most notable architects, according to the NRHP application.

鈥淭he buildings represent important resources on the campus, including classroom buildings, dormitories, administrative buildings, and the library,鈥 the application reads. 鈥淭hey reflect the important building types that were needed on college campuses as they grew and expanded.鈥
