Mount Nord Historic District, Historic district in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Mount Nord Historic District is a residential area containing five houses built between 1901 and 1925 on an elevated block in Fayetteville. The properties sit on roughly 2.9 acres and are visible from Mount Nord Street and the streets that border the district.
The area developed in the early 1900s when wealthy residents built homes on this elevated land, shaping Fayetteville's residential patterns of that era. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, recognizing its architectural significance from that period.
The five houses display Colonial Revival, Beaux Arts, and Georgian Revival features that reflect architectural tastes of the early 1900s. Walking through the district, you can observe how these different styles appear side by side on the elevated block.
The houses are private residences that can be viewed only from the exterior along Mount Nord Street, which connects to Lafayette and Maple Streets. The elevated location allows visitors to see the house exteriors clearly while walking through the surrounding streets.
Once standing on this land was the Arkansas Building, originally constructed for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and demolished in 1939. This structure connected the site to a major national event in American history before it was removed.
