A Freaking Miracle
This old house is on the 1000 block of 3rd Street, a couple of lots down from Cross Street in Little Rock. Defying all odds, someone is fixing this house up instead of demolishing it for a parking lot. This house has been in need of some attention for years. I drove by it a couple of weeks ago, and I was shocked to see all the scaffolding around it. I'm not sure how old this house is, my guess is that it was built between 1870-1910 (probably closer to the 1870 end of the spectrum). Many thanks to whoever is funding this project.
