Arkansas Ties ... A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That, and a Whole Lot of Arkansas

Foster - Robinson House 2122 Broadway Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas c. 1905   This house was built by Harry Foster and his wife lived in the house until 1929.  She sold the house to U.S. Senator Joe T. Robinson.  The Robinson's hosted a dinner party for President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and the President gave a speech from the front porch.  President Trumann also visited with Mrs. Robinson after the death of her husband.  In 1984, the house was converted to Hope Lodge, a "home away from home" for adult cancer patients being treated in the city.
