Little Rock is the home - studio of Ted Elden, just beyond TOR.
It was also featured on Home & Garden TV & Dwell Magazine.

That land and building is protected by a Land Patent, as recorded at the Kanawha County Courthouse.

Top O Rock was curved in floor plan and composed of many calculated, erected pieces fabricated by W. Va. Steel.
Little Rock is 10 intersecting squares in plan, but has 10 shell shaped undulating roofs.
Each roof section is shaped like a pringle potato chip or a saddle for a horse.
It is primary wood construction, and simple to build, but complex to see & comprehend.

a Tribute to Henry Elden, Architect, Engineer, Top O Rock, Charleston, West Virginia

TOR was demolished by Mitchell Rashid about 2015

Little Rock remains in good repair,
a very unique building for all of West Virginia.
It was designed and built by Ted Elden,
who like, Top O Rock, got his building
featured / broadcast on Home & Garden TV
on the Dream Builders program, many times.
