Hornibrook House, Victorian house in Little Rock, US.
Hornibrook House is a two-story brick house at 2120 South Louisiana Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, built in 1888. Its Queen Anne design has irregular massing, projecting gables, and a wraparound porch with turned posts and balustrade. A three-story rounded tower at one corner is capped by an octagonal roof.
Built in 1888 for businessman James Hornibrook, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Its construction date places it during the height of Victorian design popularity among wealthy Arkansas residents.
The house reflects Queen Anne design preferences that reveal how wealthy residents in late 1800s Arkansas chose to display their status and taste. The intricate woodwork and decorative elements throughout show the craftsmanship valued during this period.
The house is located in an established residential neighborhood where it remains visible from the street with its original features intact. Visitors can best appreciate the architectural details during daylight hours from the public right-of-way.
The Hornibrook House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, ten years after the National Historic Preservation Act set up the register. The nomination rests on its exterior and interior detail, which the source calls unrivalled among Arkansas examples of the Queen Anne style.
