PYRAMID PLACE

Pyramid Place is the "first modern office building" in Arkansas. At 10 stories, the Southern Trust Building (its original name) in downtown Little Rock also was trumpeted as the state's first skyscraper in 1907. The structural design of the building is the basis of skyscraper tradition that has taken office buildings higher and higher. At 96,598 square feet, the structure was created with fireproofing, electric lights, mail chutes, three electric elevators, mosaic tile floors and white marble baseboards. Featuring a commercial-style design, the U-shaped building's rows of windows remain functional and are a ready gateway for natural light and air. The windows are a prominent part of the building's pre-air conditioning look as well as an example of the early interpretation of the glass-and-steel concept... Pyramid Place and Residences 221 in downtown Little Rock offers luxury apartment living and extended stay executive suites with office spaces and Studio Art Galleries.
