The First Hotze House is a historic house at 1620 South Main Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Located in what was once the outskirts of the city, it is an L-shaped single story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, weatherboard trim, and a foundation of brick piers. A porch extends across most of its front facade, supported by paired square columns with brackets and a dentillated cornice. The building corners are adorned with Italianate pilasters and paired brackets. Built in 1869 and restored in 2000–01, it was the first post-Civil War home of Peter Hotze, a prominent local merchant and real estate developer. (His second, more elaborate home, stands just around the corner.){{cite web|url=https://www.arkansasheritage.com/docs/default-source/national-registry/PU3084-pdf|title=NRHP nomination for First Hotze House|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2015-11-18}}
