The Siloam Springs Museum recently partnered with Emily Snyder, the Historic Preservation Coordinator for the Rogers Historical Museum to erect a sign honoring the Carl’s Addition Historical District in downtown Siloam Springs.
As Siloam Springs began to grow in the late 1800s, new additions were being surveyed and added to the town. Among them was Carl’s Addition, developed by Thomas R. Carl.
The area was developed between about 1895 and 1946, a period of growth brought about by the arrival of the railroad. It contains a concentration of Queen Anne and Craftsman style houses, although other popular revival styles are also represented to some degree.
The district extends along South Wright Street between Twin Springs and Alpine Streets, and for single blocks along West Alpine and South College Streets.
It contains 18 historic contributing buildings, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997.
We want to thank Emily Snyder at the Rogers Historical Museum for all of her help in acquiring the Historic District signs for the neighborhood.
