Taber-Patterson House Click me to see more photos and read more! https://AbandonedAR.com/taber-patterson-house/ Built circa 1885, the Taber-Patterson house at 1624 Louisiana is classified as “eclectic” style: a mix of Eastlake and Craftsman. It has undergone multiple changes, from being divided into three large apartments, then converted back to one large home. Currently, the Quapaw Quarter Association is assisting the caretaker with preventing further deterioration by placing multiple tarps on the roof after a large hole has caused significant water damage. It will be for sale, as there is significant interest in rehabilitating this beautiful piece of Downtown Little Rock’s history, once legal issues are wrapped up following the last owner’s passing. https://AbandonedAR.com #abandonedarkansas #abandonedar #abandonedarchitecture #abandonedplaces #abandoned #history #abandonedhouse #abandonedworld #abandonedplaces #abandoned_junkies

Army Navy Hospital - AbandonedAR.com/army-navy-hospital/ (👈Full history and Photo Gallery!) This historic building's future is unknown and could soon follow the same fate as the Majestic Hotel if nothing is done soon. Because the building was originally built by the federal government and was only allowed to be used by Hot Springs under the lease agreement made in 1960 stipulating that the State of Arkansas could inhabit the building so long as it was used for hospital purposes of some kind. After its closure arguments about who actually owned the hospital now started to arise with neither the State nor the Government wanting to claim ownership leaving the building in limbo. Clay Farrar who has been leading talks of finding the correct owner so work on preservation can begin says the building would easily cost roughly $1,000,000 a year and believes this is why no one wants to claim ownership.

Forever Majestic - Documentary (Official Trailer) We are so excited to finally announce that our Forever Majestic Feature-length Documentary that we have been working on since 2014 was selected to have its world premiere at the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival with a Q&A afterward. Movie Description: For a town like Hot Springs, Arkansas, The Majestic was more than just a hotel — it held an important place in the collective memory of the citizenry. Despite multiple owners and frequent promises to renovate, the building would sit empty and eventually catch on fire in 2014. Complicated and deeply personal, Forever Majestic considers the financial opportunity born of that fateful fire and questions who is best served by its demolition.
