Eleven Arkansas properties in nine counties will be considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program announced in a statement Thursday.
The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program's review board will meet at 10 a.m. Dec. 3 to discuss the properties.
Among the Pulaski County properties being considered is the Little Rock Federal Building at 700 W. Capitol Ave., which was built between 1959 and 1961.
“The Little Rock Federal building is a good example of the commercial work of two noted Arkansas architecture firms: Swaim & Allen & Associates and Ginocchio, Cromwell & Associates,” according to the National Register nomination.
The Scheid, Barney L. Elias and Heagler houses in North Little Rock are also on the list, the program said.
“Built by Barney L. Elias for his family in 1949, this home is a very personal project including experimental designs and construction similar to the contemporary Governor’s Mansion project overseen by the Elias family’s construction company,” the nomination states.
The Scheid House is a Craftsman-style residence built between 1914 and 1917, and the Heagler House was built in 1929.

• St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 300 N. Second St. in Paragould.
• U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, 100 Reserve St. in Hot Springs.
