FAYETTEVILLE — A planned gift of more than $1 million from a daughter of renowned architect Fay Jones will go toward preserving the family’s historic home and supporting visiting architecture faculty at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
The gift from Jean Cameron “Cami” Jones will provide funding for the Fay and Gus Jones House Stewardship Endowment.
The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Half of the gift will go toward creating two endowments: one to bring in annually appointed visiting professors or lecturers “of national or international accomplishment,” according to the university’s announcement, and the other for the digitization of selected documents in the Fay Jones collection maintained by UA libraries.
