Sandwiching in History

Meet at bottom of River Mt. Road for a ride to Argenta. The tour of the Presbyterian Church begins at noon.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK
201 W. 4th St. in North Little Rock
The Argenta Presbyterian Church built its first brick building at
the corner of West 4th and Maple Streets in 1902. As the
congregation flourished, additions were constructed in the 1920s
and the church changed its name to First Presbyterian Church of
North Little Rock. A manse was added across the street in 1927.
Then in 1954 the complex was expanded again with a new
sanctuary built in a simplified Gothic Revival style by notable
Arkansas architect John Parks Almand (best known for Little Rock
Central High School). Almand added an educational wing in 1957.
The Presbyterian church no longer meets here, and the historic
property is being redeveloped through tax credits for adaptive
reuse as a wedding and event venue to accompany its sister
property, the E.O. Manees House.
