Tour Showcases Mid-Century Architecture
Posted: November 11, 2012 at 4:34 a.m.
Gregory Herman, right, associate professor of architecture at the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas, speaks Saturday to a group associated with the Historic Preservation Alliance in front of the Durst House on Fairview Drive in Fayetteville. The home was designed by John G. Williams, founder of the UA’s school of architecture and teacher of Fay Jones, and featured on a tour of significant homes in Fayetteville.
When Mark and Carie Pryor bought their home four years ago, they didn’t realize others would want a sneak peek inside.
