The buildings in the district are examples of 20th Century ComerciaI with architectural elements inspired by Art Deco, Italianate and Sullivanesque Styles. The majority of the buildings were built between 1909 and 1929. New buildings were built in the 1930s and the older buildings were remodeld in the 1960s. Many of these buildings are some of the remaining examples of the varied architectural designs by influential Arkansas architects, such as CharIes L. Thompson, Theodore M.
