Capital Hotel (Little Rock, Arkansas)

The Capital Hotel is a historic hotel at 111 West Markham Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a four-story brick building with an elaborately decorated Victorian front facade. Its ground level window bays are articulated by Corinthian pilasters, and the tall second and third floor windows are set in round-arch openings with Ionic pilasters between. The fourth floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings with smaller Corinthian pilasters. The hotel was, when it opened in 1876, the grandest in the city, and the building is still a local landmark.[2]
