The Moose Addition Neighborhood Historic District encompasses the oldest residential area of Morrilton, Arkansas. This area was farmland until the railroad was built through the region in the 1880s. Located just south of the railroad and the city's business district, this area was soon built up as a residential area, with most of its development coming between roughly 1925 and 1960. There is a single Queen Anne Victorian, built in 1881, from the earliest days of its development. [2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 and enlarged in 2015. [1] Its initial listing included properties on Division Street and Moose Street between Valley Street in the north and Brown and Green Streets to the south. [2] It was nearly doubled in size in 2015, expanding north to Church Street and east to St. Joseph Street. [3]

The town of Pulaski Heights was annexed to the city of Little Rock in 1916.

McKnight District United States historic place

The McKnight District is a predominantly residential neighborhood northeast of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts. The area represents a planned residential development covering several hundred acres, which was built in the mid to late 19th century. The architects of the development were John and William McKnight, who, in addition to developing and enforcing construction guidelines in the area, built and landscaped many of the properties. The area was largely built by 1910, and there has been little new construction in the area since. Most of the houses built in the area were constructed in most of the architectural styles that were popular between 1880 and 1990, although there is a predominance of the Queen Anne style. The McKnights began to develop the area, which had previously been mainly farmland, in 1870 with the purchase of a 22 acres (8.9 ha) parcel on which they and a partner built their own homes. They proceeded over the following years to acquire additional parcels of land in the area, plat out roads, and either build houses themselves, or sell plots to other builders. They enforced some uniformity in the area through the use of deed restrictions, which required uniform setback requirements, banned fencing, and required a minimum cost of construction.

Lake Village Commercial Historic District United States historic place

This area represents the growth of Lake Village during its period of greatest prosperity, between 1906 and 1960. The city's growth was spurred by the arrival of the railroad in 1903, and most of the district's buildings were built between 1900 and 1930. Most of the buildings are vernacular commercial buildings; the John Tushek Building at 202 Main Street is one interesting example of Beaux Arts styling, and 218–222 Main Street has some Italianate styling. The district includes the Lake Village Confederate Monument, which has been a local landmark since 1910.

Mahony Historic District Residential area within Arkansas, United States

The Mahony Historic District encompasses a residential part of El Dorado, Arkansas north of its downtown area. It was an area of significant development in the years after the 1921 discovery of oil and the ensuing economic boom. The area is bounded on the south by Champagnolle Road, on the west by a line just east of North Madison Avenue, on the north by East 5th Street, and on the east by North Lee Avenue and railroad tracks. It is just over 14 acres (5.7 ha) in size, and includes 94 buildings that contribute to its significance. The streets in the district are laid out in grid form, accounting for the fact that Champagnolle Road runs diagonally from southwest to northeast. Most of the housing in the district consists of modest single-story houses, with simple styling. This is a contrast to the adjacent Murphy-Hill Historic District, a more affluent area with a longer history of development. Only five houses in the district were built before 1920, and all lie on Champagnolle Road; most of the rest were built in the decade after the oil discovery. There is one church in the district, St. Mary's Episcopal Church, completed in 1950. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
