One unusual type that might be overlooked is the “postage stamp” building (one that is no more than a few feet wide and long). This kind of tiny little structure pops up here and there in various locations around town. Because they are so small, sometimes these buildings might not get no- ticed as we walk or drive around town. Three of these nifty little places are shown below. 300 W. Mountain This little building was con- structed about 1933 and origi- nally was a Gulf Service Station. The small blue building to the west was a mechanic’s bay. It remained a Gulf Station until the mid-1950s when it became a Skelley Service Station. From the mid-1960s through most of the 1990s, it was a radiator shop. Recently it housed a bicycle shop and a clothing store. 352 N. West Avenue Built in 1927 by D. W. and Inez Read, this little brick structure was home to the Henry J. Dever’s grocery store from around 1935 until the 1950s. According to Fayetteville City Directories, in 1957 it was home to the Fayetteville Humane Society; in 1965 it housed Scott Surgical Appliances; and in the mid-1980s was used as a warehouse by the Bike Route bicycle shop. Old World Classics (stone cast) was here in 2005 and currently it is Mae’s Emporium. 204 N. Block Avenue Over the years, this tiny building, now home to The Curious Book Shoppe, has housed many businesses, including an in- surance company, a beauty salon, and a graphics store. Alt- hough it was probably built around 1907-1908 by J. A. Hud- son, the first reference to a business at this address is in the 1947 directory when it was a household appliance store. ► Article idea and buildings described were suggested by local preservationist Annie Dowling.

Hogan. 4 Oaks Cemetery - Maybe You Didn’t Know By Jerry Hogan Oaks Cemetery, founded in 1867, was placed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places in 2015. This historic cemetery is the final resting place for many of Fayetteville’s African-American citizens, including people who were slaves. A grant from the city of Fayetteville is helping the caretakers of Oaks Cemetery with some needed renovations on the property, including new fencing on its western side. Many well-known local people are buried here. Long-time residents will easily recognize familiar family names, such as Parker, Carr, Blackburn and Deffebaugh, of those interred in Oaks Cemetery. The following are just a few of those people whose lives, though often nearly forgotten today, are none- theless woven into the fabric of Fayetteville history. Willis Pettigrew was a slave of the Pettigrew family of the Farmington, Arkansas area. Pettigrew was a fixture on the Fayetteville scene for nearly fifty years after the civil war. He was known for delivering wares around town in an oxen-driven cart and was featured in a very well-known photo- graph called “The Old South” along with fellow former slaves Sam Van Winkle, Charlie Richardson, Squire Jahagen and Nick Clemmons. Pettigrew’s gravestone is located in the south-central section of Oaks Cemetery. Ollie and Lem McPherson were brothers and they lie side by side in Oaks Cemetery. Ollie was a World War I veteran, serving in the Missouri 415 Reserve Service Battalion, and Lem became the first black patrolman in Fayetteville history. Lem was killed in the line of duty on April 28, 1928. For many years, Lem’s gravestone lay unmarked but thanks to the caretakers of Oaks Cemetery his location next to brother Ollie was identified and the Fayetteville Police Department was able to place a fine new stone honoring him. Lem McPherson is also honored on the national roster of police officers who died in the line of duty. George Ballard moved to Fayetteville from the Cincinnati, Arkansas area in 1882. He married Rosetta Dart and for many years lived just behind the historic Washington County Jail in a small home on E. Mountain Street. Ballard worked many jobs including janitor at the jail but he is best known for being a poet. His cleverly titled collection of poems Ozark Ballards was published by the Fayetteville Democrat publishing company in 1928 after he wrote a nationally recognized poem upon the death of Woodrow Wilson. It is an unfortunate reality that Ballard rests in an unmarked grave in Oaks Cemetery. 5 Company B - Second Arkansas Infantry National Guard, U. S. A. At the beginning of the Spanish-American War in 1898, favorite sons and university students volunteered for service. The Mexican border conflict followed, and on June 16, 1916, Company B, Arkansas National Guard, received orders to mobilize. The unit returned on March 15, 1917, less than a month before the United States declared war on Germany (April 6, 1917) and entered World War I.

  • A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J
    A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J. B. Hogan The area of town known as South Fayetteville has a long and interesting history. Most of us know South Fayetteville as the poor side of town, which it has been for nearly all of our history. This is the working class section of Fayetteville, with small, older homes, little corner groceries and neighborhood schools (all of the latter two now nearly defunct). But it wasn’t always where the less affluent citizens of Fayetteville lived – far from it. Much of South Fayetteville, in fact, belonged to one man: arguably the most famous person to ever live here: the second Governor of the State of Arkansas, Archibald Yell. Archibald Yell isn’t just a bypass through the middle of town, he was a living, breathing politician, lawyer and military hero. Yell gained notoriety and the lasting appreciation of Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, through his military exploits in the War of 1812 and other conflicts in the early years of the nineteenth century. It was President Jackson who gave Yell his first positions in the Arkansas Territory and Yell was also close friends with President James K. Polk, another favorite of Andrew Jackson. After starting in Little Rock in late 1831, by 1834 Yell had moved to Fayetteville – early enough to qualify him as a founding father if not a first settler of our town. Yell was smart with his income and bought up lots of land around town, eventually owning some 900 acres of prime real estate. 500-600 of those acres were in what is now known as South Fayetteville.
