Hotel Freiderica

The Hotel Fredeirica is a historic commercial building at 625 West Capitol Avenue in Little Rock, Arkansas. The five-story building was built in 1914 and enlarged in 1941. The original building was designed by Theodore M. Sanders, and the addition by Edward Durell Stone, both prominent Arkansas architects. Both sections of the building are excellent representatives of their architectural styles: the older in a typical early 20th-century commercial style, and the addition in the International style.[2]
