The Bailey House is a historic house at 302 Chestnut Street in Warren, Arkansas. The 2 1⁄2 story Victorian house is one of the most elaborately styled houses in Bradley County. It was built around the turn of the 20th century by James Monroe Bailey, an American Civil War veteran and a local druggist.

The Davis-Adams House is a historic house at 509 North Myrtle Street in Warren, Arkansas. It was built c. 1860 in a Plain Traditional style, but received a significant Victorian facelift in the 1890s, when its two-story porch was decorated with spindled balusters and jigsawed details. This work was probably done for its first documented owner, Dr. S.M. Davis, who bought the house in 1888. His daughter, Zena Davis Adams, who married a man with interests in a local grocery store, occupied the house her entire life.
The Ederington House, known locally as the "E" House for the decorations on its fences, is a historic house at 326 South Main Street in Warren, Arkansas.

Ray Burks, an architect of some local reputation whose other designs include the Blankinship Motor Company Building and the Drew County Courthouse. This house is one of a few definitely attributed to Burks, and is set on imposing grounds in central Warren. The house is built primarily of red brick, with stucco gable ends and cast stone trim details. The property is lined on two sides by a concrete fencing with iron gates. The posts flanking the driveway and lining the fence are topped by large bronze "E"s.
The Dr. John Wilson Martin House is a historic house at 200 Ash Street in Warren, Arkansas. In addition to being a well-preserved specimen of an antebellum Greek Revival farmhouse, it is believed to be the oldest surviving residence in Warren. It was built for John Wilson Martin, one of the first doctors in Warren County. Its construction date is uncertain, but local tradition places its start in 1860, and its completion after the American Civil War. The two story porch and doorway with transom and sidelights are typical of the vernacular Greek Revival structures built in the area. Although it received some Folk Victorian modifications in the early 20th, it has retained its basic Greek Revival character.
The Star City Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic commercial center of Star City, Arkansas, the county seat of Lincoln County. The district consists of thirteen buildings on two city blocks, as well as the Star City Confederate Memorial. The buildings are located on Jefferson Street, between Arkansas and Bradley Streets, and on Bradley Street between Jefferson and Drew Streets. The memorial is located in the town square, near the junction of Jefferson and Bradley. The buildings in the district were built between 1916 and 1928, and have for the most part escaped major alterations since their construction. Minor changes generally involve changes to store fronts, such as the boarding over of transom windows, the replacement of recessed entries with flush ones, and changes to the fenestration. The building at 108 Jefferson, built in 1927 to house a bar, has been extensively remodeled and does not contribute to the district's significance; the Star Theater building at 212-214 Bradley has also been extensively altered.
