Mid Mod Arkansas

Preserve Arkansas, in partnership with the University of Arkansas Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design, will hold its next “Mid Mod Arkansas” tour in Fayetteville on May 19-20.

The tour series seeks to increase appreciation for Arkansas’s unique Mid-Century Modern architecture. The tour will begin on Friday evening with a reception at the Warren Segraves-designed Fulbright Building, located at 217 E. Dickson. On Saturday, tour participants will board a charter bus and visit the Fay and Gus Jones House, Dr. Carie and Marjorie Buckley House, Terry and Sue Condren House, and the exterior of the UA Fine Arts Center. The tour will conclude on Saturday evening with a reception at Vol Walker Hall, where guests will view a new exhibition of Edward Durell Stone-designed furniture.
