Gustave B. Kleinschmidt House, Colonial Revival house in Little Rock, United States.
The Gustave B. Kleinschmidt House is a residential building in Little Rock, Arkansas, featuring one-and-a-half stories of wood-frame construction with cross-gabled roofing, a wraparound porch supported by round columns, and weatherboard exterior walls.
Built in 1907 by German immigrant Gustave Kleinschmidt, this house emerged during his shift from hospitality work toward real estate development. It became one of roughly thirty residences he constructed in the surrounding area during this period of transition.
The architecture combines Queen Anne elements with Colonial Revival features, reflecting the residential building trends of early twentieth-century Little Rock.
The residence sits on East 16th Street in the Pettaway Neighborhood, a residential area that has seen new construction since 2020. The combination of its distinctive architecture and wraparound porch makes it recognizable from the street.
The house earned National Register recognition in 2016 as the most intact example of Kleinschmidt's neighborhood building projects. Its selection among numerous similar homes he built makes it a particularly noteworthy stop for history enthusiasts.
