General
Situated in the Cammack Village section of Little Rock, this site features a French Provincial style house, whose spectacular balcony overlooks gardens and the Arkansas River. The house, designed by Raymond Carter, was built in 1964, and the gardens, designed by Robert A. Shaheen, were created around the same time. Garden highlights include a swimming pool, azaleas, and a rose garden on the terraced areas overlooking the river.
Persons associated with the property include Robert Shaheen (landscape designer, ca. 1964); Raymond Carter (architect, 1964); and Frank and Marion Lyon (former owners, 1964-2001).
