December 3 – Virtual Tour – Premiere on Facebook the first Friday of each month at noon and are archived on AHPP YouTube Channel.
This house, with an impressive front porch designed as an elaborate portico topped by a triangular pediment, was designed by local architect Frank W. Gibb to serve as his own home. Completed in 1906, the house’s design was similar to the Arkansas Building, also designed by Gibb, for the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. Gibb and his wife, Mary Newton Gibb, a prominent local suffragette, would live in the home until 1911, when the home was sold to Maurice Altheimer, a prominent local financier, merchant, planter, and member of the influential Altheimer family of Jefferson County, Arkansas. Today, the house continues to be a private, single-family home.
