Central High School Neighborhood Historic District
Central High School Neighborhood Historic District, National Historic Site in Little Rock, United States.
The Central High School Neighborhood Historic District includes the school building, constructed in 1927 with elaborate Gothic Revival and Art Deco architectural elements.
The district gained national significance in 1957 when nine African American students attempted to integrate the previously all-white school, leading to federal intervention.
The neighborhood represents a crucial location in the American Civil Rights Movement, demonstrating the implementation of school desegregation following Brown v. Board of Education.
The visitor center at 2120 West Daisy Gatson Bates Drive offers guided tours, educational programs, and exhibits about the integration crisis Tuesday through Saturday.
The district contains the only functioning high school in the United States that operates within the boundaries of an active National Historic Site.
