The D. McDonald House is a historic house at 800 South Broadway in Smackover, Arkansas. The two-story brick house was built in 1928-29 by DeKalb McDonald, during the oil boom that hit Union County in the 1920s. It is one of the more unusual houses in the town, exhibiting Craftsman styling with a Mediterranean flair. The house has irregular massing, with a main block and a number of projecting porches and ells. The main block and projections generally have hipped roofs finished in red tile with significant overhangs. The western elevation includes a porte cochere. Significant original period detailing remains on the interior of the house, despite the application of paneling to the walls. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. [1]

The Marion County Courthouse is located at Courthouse Square in Yellville, the county seat of Marion County, Arkansas. It is a two-story stone and concrete structure, set on a raised basement. Its main (south-facing) elevation has a series of projecting sections, with the main rectangular block of the building behind.

This leads through a slightly smaller gable-roofed section to a wider section, which has prominent hexagonal turrets at either side, a surviving remnant of the previous courthouse. Most of the structure is finished in rusticated stone; there is a course of concrete at the cornice below the turrets, in which the "Marion County Courthouse" is incised. The building was constructed in 1943–44, after the 1906 courthouse was heavily damaged by fire. The previous courthouse was designed by George E. McDonald.

Irven D. McDaniel (1894-1960) was an architect based in Arkansas and Tennessee and Irven G. McDaniel was his son and also an architect who practiced in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
