Regarding Maxwell-Sweet House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Built in 1921 for Maxwell, a prominent Siloam Springsbanker, the Maxwell-Sweet House was one of the most impressive residences of its time. In 1928 Maxwell lost his bank due to financial misdealings, and the house was taken over by the mortgagee, Will Sweet, who was owner of the local coal and ice plant. The Maxwell-Sweet House is significant architecturally in Siloam Springs as a local example of Craftsman design with subtle Prairie influences.
