Approximately three years after Pulitzer Prize-winning poet John Gould Fletcher moved back to his native Little Rock (Pulaski County), he married fellow accomplished writer Charlie May Simon. The couple, though often traveling the world, lived in their dream home on a bluff overlooking the Arkansas River. The colonial revival house named “Johnswood,” shown here in the 1950s, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
