Photo Caption: When constructed in 1927, Central High School, Pulaski County, Little Rock, Arkansas, was named the "Most Beautiful High School Building in the Country." Designed by architect John Parks Almand, Central High School is exceptionally significant for architecture and for its role in the 1957 school desegregation crisis. Pictured here in front of the building are members of the National Guard called out by Arkansas governor Orval Faubus on September 2, 1957.
