Most of the buildings in the district are tall single-story brick structures, some covered in stucco. They were built between about 1895 and the 1930s, with a smaller number appearing later. The area's economic activity was driven first by the arrival of the railroad, which defined the layout of the town, and then by the growth of lumber and agriculture in the region. The oldest building in the district is 203 North Main, built c. 1895 with modest Romanesque Revival styling.
The DeWitt Commercial Historic District encompasses part of the historic downtown of De Witt, Arkansas, the seat of the southern district of Arkansas County.

The city's growth remained modest until the arrival of the railroad in the 1890s, and saw most of its civic growth between then and the 1920s. The district includes 54 historically significant buildings, 32 of which face Courthouse Square. The oldest buildings in the district lie just north of Courthouse Square, either facing the square or in North Main or Gibson Streets.
The Marianna Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic civic and commercial heart of Marianna, Arkansas, the county seat of Lee County. The district is focused on two blocks of Main Street and two blocks of Poplar Street, which cross at the northwest corner of Court Square, a city park in which the Gen. Robert E. Lee Monument is found, and extends south to include a few buildings on Liberty Street. The city was founded in 1870, and its economy developed around cotton and lumber, which were delivered to market by the L'Anguille River, a tributary of the Mississippi River. The downtown developed a short distance west of the city's boat landing. Its first brick buildings were built in the 1870s, although the oldest to survive now date to the 1880s, including the elaborate Italianate Hayes & Drake building at 38 South Poplar. Court Square Park has long been a major community meeting point, and is faced by the Lee County Courthouse. The district includes seventy buildings, of which forty eight are historically significant.

Beisel as a wedding present for his wife, and apparently kicked off a minor building boom of similar Spanish Revival houses in the area. It is among the best-preserved and least-altered of those houses.

The district extends along Mena Street between Port Arthur and Gillham Avenues, extending a short way to the south on Sherwood Avenue, opposite the railroad tracks for which the town's existence is responsible. Mena was founded as a major railroad service town for the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad, as its site was located midway between Port Arthur, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri. The railroad located a major service yard here, and the town grew up around it. Most of its commercial center was developed between 1896 and 1940, with a variety of one and two-story commercial brick buildings in typical early 20th-century styles. The district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, includes four properties previously listed separately: the railroad station, Mena City Hall, the former Elks Lodge, and the former Studebaker Showroom.
