BUILDING HISTORY:
This Historic Hamp Williams Building, at the intersection of Ouachita and Hawthorne, was built in 1920 and consisted of a corner bay (Community Bank & Trust) and its adjoining bay, the Hamp Williams Auto Company. This also included the Cox Store Company, a small grocery franchise, located behind the corner bank. The automobile company was both the first Ford dealership and first automobile showroom in Hot Springs. The building was built in the Italian Renaissance period style. A third bay was added on both the side and back of the first two bays circa 1925. While the showroom interior had a modern lift in the rear to hoist autos to the second floor, its decoration of pressed tin was very Victorian. The bank building had an open two-story lobby with overlooking offices from the mezzanine level. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
