The Woodruff House
The Woodruff House, located at 1017 East 8th Street in Little Rock (Pulaski County), was built between 1852 and 1853 by William Woodruff, the founder and first publisher of the Arkansas Gazette; the Gazette was the first newspaper in Arkansas and the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi River. The house is significant because of its association with William Woodruff and stands as one of only a few extant antebellum homes in Little Rock. While it isn’t completely clear what construction methods were used to build the house, it’s likely that the house was constructed using the labor of enslaved people, as Woodruff owned 14 slaves by 1860.The Woodruff House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1989.
The Woodruff House is no longer owned by the QQA.
