Curran Hall
615 East Capitol
Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas
Circa 1842
Listed on the National
Register and the Quapaw Quarter list of historic houses.
This house was originally
a wedding present from Colonel Ebenezer Walter to his bride, who
died shortly after completion. Walters sold the house to David
Baldwin, who sold it in 1849 to James Curran. Curran died in
1854, leaving a wife with two small children and one on the way.
The house remained the property of Alice, the third child, until it
was purchased in 1884 by Mary Woodruff Bell, daughter of Arkansas
Gazette founder, William Woodruff. The house was opened in
2002 as the Little Rock visitor's center.
