W.H.H. Clayton House
W.H.H. Clayton House, Victorian house museum in Belle Grove Historic District, Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The W.H.H. Clayton House is a two-and-a-half-story wooden residence in Fort Smith's Belle Grove neighborhood that showcases architecture from the 1800s. Its interior features walnut staircases, cypress double front doors, and cast-iron fireplaces that reveal the craftsmanship typical of the period.
The building was originally constructed in the mid-1800s as Sutton Mansion. During the Civil War, it served as a Union Army hospital before being purchased and substantially remodeled in the 1880s.
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.
