About this property

The Choctaw Route Station is a historic former railroad station on East 3rd Street in the riverfront area of Little Rock, Arkansas. The building now houses the Clinton School of Public Service, a branch of the University of Arkansas at the Clinton Presidential Center. The station, built in 1899 for the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, is a single-story brick building with elaborate terra cotta detailing, and is one of the architecturally finest stations in the state. By the mid-1960s the trains had dwindled down the Memphis-Californian successor, the Memphis-Tucumcari, an overnight coach-only Memphis-Little Rock-Oklahoma City-Amarillo-Tucumcari train. This final train at the station was terminated between fall 1967 and summer 1968. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
