Facts

📍 State: Arkansas / City: Eureka Springs

🗓️ Year Built: 1908

🧑‍🎨 Architect: Frank W. Gibb

🏛️ Architectural Style: Romanesque Revival

💎 Unique Details: Because of Eureka Springs’ rugged, hilly landscape, the courthouse is multi-leveled, with the main entrance on the second story from street level. The building’s vertical emphasis suits Eureka Springs’ steep terrain, making it appear taller and more commanding.

Why See It?

Located in the heart of the Eureka Springs Historic District, visiting the courthouse is a great way to start (or end) a self-guided walking tour through one of the most intact Victorian towns in America.

Nearby Highlights

Downtown Eureka Springs – The entire downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with over 100 preserved Victorian buildings—many built into the hillside or stacked along winding, stone-paved streets. You won’t find a single stoplight or flat block, which gives the town an organic, old-world feel.

Crescent Hotel – Perched atop West Mountain, the Crescent Hotel has stood since 1886 as a grand Victorian resort. It’s a must-visit for its rich history, striking architecture, and reputation as one of America’s most haunted hotels.
