Cecil M. Buffalo Jr. House

While Little Rock was the main focus for settlers in Pulaski County, areas south of the city experienced exponential growth. The Landmark community is within the Union Township that was created in 1859. There were originally approximately 400 original residents to the area before the area known as East End was annexed to Saline County in 1873. By the 1950s, the area began to boom with new residential and business developments. By 1987, Landmark had its own fire department, city utilities, and shopping center.

Cecil M. Buffalo, Jr., was born on November 28, 1944, in Little Rock to Cecil Miles Buffalo, Sr., and Melba Buffalo. The elder Buffalo worked for the Conoco Oil Company and owned several gas stations, including one in the Landmark community less than a mile from the eventual location of the Buffalo House. The younger Buffalo graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, but he too would work for Conoco.^[3] The home was built and paid for by Buffalo, Sr., as a wedding present to Buffalo, Jr. and his wife. The circular design offered a continuous view of Landmark Lake.^[4] The home, along with another the Buffalo family built nearby at 15915 Pinerose Circle, gave a distinctive look to the Buffalo subdivision that attracted passers-by on Hwy 167. The living room of the home was expanded in 1977, and a swimming pool addition completed in 1982. The home was sold outside of the family in 1989 and has been sold several times since. The most recent sale was in 2013 for $190,000.^[5]
