Frank Carmean
Frank Carmean was an architect in Arkansas. Not formally trained as an architect, but rather experienced in building construction, he became a designer. He joined a firm in 1927 that was developing the Edgemont residential area of Little Rock, and is believed to have designed all but one of the 16 homes in the development. The firm billed him as their "architect", and he toured to collect new designs. He introduced or expanded the use of Spanish Colonial architecture in Little Rock. He often worked with builder Justin Matthews. More than a dozen of his works survive and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of his work is Bungalow/Craftsman architecture and was covered in a study of Pre-Depression buildings in Edgemont, in Park Hill, in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
