Biographical/Historical Note
The Little Rock Concordia Club is said to have been the first social club to form in the city; some have argued it was the first in the state. The original name for the organization was the 'Little Rock Club.' It was founded in 1864 by the elite of Jewish society in Arkansas. During the Brooks-Baxter conflict, the building was used as a temporary hospital for the wounded. Ulysses S. Grant, the former president, visited Little Rock in 1880 during which the community conducted a gala ball in his honor at the Concordia Club. The Concordia Club building on Eighth and Scott Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, was dedicated on June 8, 1903 by Morris M. Cohn. The building was later sold to the Boys' Club in 1924 for $42,500.
