Join us Friday, November 6, at noon, for our Sandwiching in History tour of the Gibson & Company’s Blue Star / Horizon Home in Little Rock.Built in 1964, this house is a good example of the national Horizon Home program, which promoted innovative uses of concrete in residential design. Designed by Little Rock architect Frank Eugene Withrow, the home is a stunning expression of Wrightian architecture, featuring a long, low profile, bands of windows, and contrasting concrete textures. Perched on a prominent hillside, it was a regional winner in the 1964 Horizon Home competition. The property also served as a "Blue Star Home" to showcase modern gas appliances. This unique structure remains one of Little Rock’s most unique examples of mid-century residential architecture.
NOTE: There is parking along the street. For guests with mobility concerns, please be aware that the entrance to the house is up an inclined driveway, and there are stairs inside the home.
