W.H.H. Clayton House, Victorian house museum in Belle Grove Historic District, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

The W.H.H. Clayton House is a 2+1⁄2-story L-shaped wood-frame house at 514 North 6th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. A projecting front clipped-gable section carries Victorian trim: detailed window surrounds, paneled projecting bays on the front and side, and a porch with carved columns and brackets. Delicately turned balusters ring the porch roof.

The house was built in 1882 for W. H. H. Clayton, a local prosecutor and member of a family prominent in Arkansas politics. He served as United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas and as chief prosecutor in the court of "hanging judge" Isaac Parker. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and is now a museum.

The house carries the name of the man who reshaped it after acquiring the property in the 1880s. Inside, you can see how a wealthy family lived during that era, with furnishings and objects that reflect everyday habits and tastes of the period.

The residence sits on North 6th Street and is easy to visit as part of exploring the historic neighborhood. Guided tours take you through the different rooms and explain the architectural features and the building's history.

The owner was a powerful figure in local law enforcement who helped manage one of the nation's largest federal court jurisdictions. This link to regional legal history makes the house a window into the influential roles that individuals played in frontier development.
