I remember.

I remember when this style construction was so popular.  I loved the look of native rock and frame combined.

I especially liked ranch houses built with this combination.  Evidently Harding University in Searcy Arkansas also liked the look because there are several apartment complexes built along E. Pleasure as you approach Harding that were probably built back then.

They are going down!

 Your roving blogster took these pictures.  I like best the rock walls.

They are being replaced with some gorgeous buildings that I blogged about a few weeks ago.  See that blog here.   Their removal just adds to the changing look of Searcy Arkansas and Harding University.  We can't say that they were historic buildings but they can be remembered as part of our history.

Mary, I DID mean E. Pleasure!  Thank you for pointing out my mistake.  I tried to find these on our court house data to see when they were built but could find nothing.  When you worked at the Housng Authority you handled subsidized rent, didn't you?  Were these subsidized apartments?  Just for students?  How old do you think they are.    oops!  were....as of today on the south side of the road.  They are gone.

Barbara, Searcy AR is a changing place. Every time I visit your blog, you are showing another memory that is being taken down and being replaced by a new memory! It is a good thing you are the keeper of the memories.

PS, I like the rock wall too.

Andrea, you're so nice to drop by.  I have become so busy with the Searcy history that I have neglected my activerain friends.  Where is Nutsy?  I need to call on that guy.

Mary, I remember seeing you at the Housing Authority during that time.  I once had two rentals and one rented to the nicest elderly lady who had her rent subsidized.  She appreciated the help given to her.  In other cases I was not so lucky.  Is there still a Section 8?  Probably some of the married students qualified for some rent subsidy.  You didn't leave in 1991 because of the end of the program, did you?

I think the apartments were probably built in the early 70's because that is when the look was so loved.  Remember Eden Aisle?  When it started out the houses all seemed to be that style and even the Red Apple Inn is similar.  I wanted a house just like those!

Barbara, Mary lives about 300 miles North East of Washington D.C.

Sorry, Mary, I had to butt in since I didn't have anything to say about the fine apartments.

Don, I need to remind folks that you are #9 for activerain bloggers in the state of Arkansas and those points have been gained mostly by commenting and participating in this blog.  Without you, I'd be lost.  Your jumping in is always acceptable!  : )

Mary, I think you are probably in an area that I have never visited but has to be a good place blessed by your presence.
