Little Rock—The Quapaw Quarter Association has announced its 49th Spring Tour of Homes May 11-12 in Park Hill, North Little Rock. Since 1963, the Spring Tour has been held to foster appreciation for historic homes and neighborhoods and the QQA is excited to showcase Park Hill this year. The neighborhood has been named one of the best places to buy an old house by This Old House Magazine, and just last year, the QQA presented an Award of Merit to the Park Hill Neighborhood Association for ongoing preservation efforts.

The self-guided tour will include six private homes on Skyline Drive and Dooley Road in Park Hill, including the Justin Matthews, Jr. House constructed in 1927 and the first Kirby House. The popular candlelight tour will be held Saturday evening May 11 beginning at 5:30 p.m. followed by “Gatsby in the Garden” at one of the homes on Skyline Drive which will include cocktail hour, dinner and live music by Wine and Roses. Tickets start at $125 per person and are valid for Sunday afternoon as well.

On Sunday afternoon, May 12, all six houses will be open for tours from 1:00-5:00 p.m. In addition to touring the houses and learning their histories, guests may enjoy trolley rides, food vendors, street activities and live music. Children 10 and under are free, tickets cost $20 in advance, $25 the day of the tour ($20 for QQA members).
For tickets and more information, visit Quapaw.com or call 501-371-0075. The Quapaw Quarter Association’s mission is to promote the preservation of Little Rock’s architectural heritage through advocacy, marketing and education.

Incorporated in 1968, the QQA grew out of an effort to identify and protect significant historic structures in Little Rock during the urban renewal projects of the early 1960s. Throughout its existence, the QQA has been a driving force behind historic preservation in Greater Little Rock.
