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.
