Historic Homes of Fayetteville
- In 1951, Walter J. Lemke photographed a dozen homes in Fayetteville that he considered historic and made it a baker's dozen by adding a picture and description of the Masonic Hall. Although most of the buildings are still standing, several have since been torn down.
University Buildings
- The first history of the University of Arkansas included more than a dozen photos of the campus as it appeared just after the turn of the century. Most of the buildings are no longer standing, and nearly all of those that do remain are used in new capacities.

Roberta Fulbright was a newspaper publisher, bank owner and manager of the sundried Fulbright companies from the 1920s to the 1950s.
This makes it seem she was in the apple business. I think you mean "sundry."

Thanks for that correction, Ethel. We've torn asunder the word "sundried" from the description and added "sundry" in its place.
