Concordia Hall in Little Rock's River Market District was constructed by Max Hilb in 1882. In the 1880s the hall's main floor was taken up by grocery and liquor stores. The Hall is now part of the Arkansas Studies Institute.
Concordia Hall was originally a place for gatherings by the city's Jewish population. The building was owned by the Concordia Association, established in 1864 to assist new Jewish immigrants in the city. The association eventually moved to the Western Hills Country Club.
