Mims-Breedlove-Priest-Weatherton House

The Mims-Breedlove-Priest-Weatherton House is a historic house at 2108 Beechwood Avenue in the Country Club Heights neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a 1+12-story wood-frame structure, finished in the Craftsman style. It has a side-gable roof with a shed-roof dormer, extending over its front porch, which is supported by square cypress box columns. Elements of the house framing are timbers salvaged from the demolition of the Gus Blass dry goods store. It was built about 1910 by H.T. Mims, supposedly as a wedding present for one of his twin daughters. (A nearly identical house, clad in vinyl siding, stands next door.) Houses of this sort were once typical in the neighborhood, which has seen many torn down and replaced with larger, more modern residences.[2]
