Go behind the scenes with the E Fay Jones Conservancy team as they share how they used LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to scan the iconic Faubus House in Huntsville, Arkansas. Built in 1965, the home was designed by renowned Arkansas architect E. Fay Jones, whose work includes the internationally celebrated Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs.

A warm, inviting interior with curved wooden beams, stone walls, and a spacious layout. The room features rustic furniture and large windows.In 2024, the Conservancy received a grant from the Division of Arkansas Heritage to conduct a LiDAR scan of the Faubus House, located in Madison County. The scan not only helps preserve the architectural legacy of Jones but also showcases how cutting-edge technology is being used in the field of historic preservation.

Learn how the scan was performed, how it’s being shared online, and explore the broader potential of laser scanning for documenting and preserving our cultural heritage.
