Welch - Cherry House
The Welch-Cherry House was built about 1884 for Reverend Thomas R. Welch, who for twenty-five years was the pastor of Little Rock's First Presbyterian Church. The design of the house is subdued, buts its front porch and the hood molds over its windows show the influence of the Italianate style of architecture. Following Thomas Welch's death, the house was purchased in 1892 by Lewis W. Cherry, who was in the ice manufacturing business and later became President of the State National Bank in Little Rock. After Cherry's death in 1922, his widow occupied the house until her death in 1957.
