Charles L. Thompson, one of the most prominent and skilled architects of Little Rock, is a native of Illinois, but chose this country as the land of his adoption in 1886. He received an excellent education in the schools of Illinois, which has been supplemented by continued study and application in later years, so that now he is thoroughly conversant with the leading topics of the day. His ability as an architect is second to none, and the results of his labors show an originality of ideas that are very pleasing to the eye after being satiated with a sameness which so often prevails in the architecture of today. On July 24, 1889, he was married to Miss Lillian McGann, a charming young lady, and a general favorite wherever she is known. Mr. Thompson is, and has been very successful in his chosen profession, and enjoys the confidence and respect of the entire community.
