Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism – Division of Arkansas Heritage issued the following announcement on Mar. 19.
The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program Courthouse Grant program is a lifeline to counties across the state. Great job, team!
The first courthouse at Warren was built in 1856 and burned down in 1901. The current courthouse was designed by architect Frank W. Gibb and constructed by E.L. Koonce in 1903.
Built back on the same town square as the original, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It was described on the register “an unusual combination of classical characteristics.”
Blake Dunn of the El Dorado based firm Connelly, Abbott, Dunn and Monroe, is the lead design architect and project manager for the renovations.
