Federal Building, Government building in Little Rock, United States.
The Federal Building is a rectangular structure in Little Rock with clean lines and functional forms typical of early postwar design. It was constructed for administrative operations and displays the period's confidence in straightforward, practical building design.
The building was completed in 1961 when federal agencies nationwide began favoring modernist architecture. This moment marked a departure from older, ornately designed administrative buildings.
The building shapes Little Rock's skyline through its plainly designed form without decorative elements. Visitors notice immediately how different it stands from older administrative structures in the city.
The building is open to the public during regular weekday office hours and functions as an active government workplace. Visitors should expect security screening at entrances, as is standard for federal facilities.
The building is listed as a National Historic landmark despite being only from the 1960s, built when few people realized modernism itself would become historically important. This recognition shows how significant this era's architecture became in hindsight.
