Seen from the La Harpe Boulevard pedestrian overpass are Arkansas's Old State Capitol (white building in center), the Peabody Hotel (left background), and the twenty-four-story Bank of America Building (right background). Built in 1842, the Old Capitol is the oldest surviving state capitol west of Mississippi. President Bill Clinton held election night celebrations there in 1992 and 1996.
