Geyer & Adams Building

The Geyer & Adams Building

The Geyer & Adams Building is the future home of the Arkansas Studies Institute of the Central Arkansas Library System. The building is located along President Clinton Avenue in the historic River Market District of Little Rock.

The Geyer & Adams Building, designed by architect Charles Thompson in 1913 and constructed in 1915, originally housed the W. W. Dickinson Hardware Company, later became home to the Arkansas Staats-Zeitung German-language newspaper, and then a blueprint firm called Farrell & Schaer.

The building, including its historic water tower and billboard, were restored under the direction of architect Reese Rowland.
