— The Donaghey Building in downtown Little Rock has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The building is located at Seventh and Main streets in downtown Little Rock. The Department of Arkansas Heritage says the Donaghey Building was built in 1925 and 1926 by New York architect Hunter McDonnell and features Neoclassical-style detailing.

The National Register nomination notes that the Donaghey Building was Arkansas’ tallest building for more than 30 years.

The nomination calls the building a “revolutionary introduction to the skyline of Little Rock.”
