From the National Register Nomination prepared by Marty Dalby and edited by Kara Mills Oosterhous, 6/20/1999:
The Quapaw-Prospect Historic District is a predominately residential neighborhood encompassing approximately nine blocks. The districtpossesses a strong sense of integrity as a residential neighborhood comprised of houses constructed between circa 1890 to circa 1940. The historic residential neighborhood remains remarkably intact, displaying an ensemble of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century homes the finest of this era surviving in the city of Hot Springs. Variations of architectural styles such as Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Spanish Revival and Craftsman are well represented in the district. The importance of this neighborhood's high degree of preservation is underscored by the fact that it remains the closest historic residential area to Central Avenue, the equally historic commercial core of downtown Hot Springs. The Quapaw-Prospect Historic District is the earliest and best intact example of a residential area that was built to house many of the people who either owned downtown businesses or worked there.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, September 13, 20242. Tarleton-Wall House MarkerThe marker is on the left side of the front entrance.Also contributing to the overall historic feeling of the district is the visual continuity that is provided by the wide, tree-lined streets, many of which still retain original curbing. Oaks, Maples, Magnolias, and Dogwood trees are located throughout the neighborhood and were either in existence before the area was developed or they were planted as the homes were built as part of the designed landscape. The large present-day lots are evidence of the original design or layout of the neighborhood as they have retained their original dimensions throughout the years. Included within the historic district are many carriage houses and garages that are associated with the homes, as well as ancillary buildings and structures such as: servants' quarters, wells, barns and storage sheds. The integrity of design is further validated by the fact that nowhere in the area has there been a subdivision of lots. Many prominent leaders of Hot Springs have lived in or are still living in the neighborhood. Its close proximity to the Hot Springs Central Avenue Historic District (NRHP listed 06/25/85) and Bathhouse Row (NRHP listed 11/13/74 & NHL listed 05/28/87) in downtown Hot Springs contributes to the overall significance of the area.
Note: The Tarleton-Wall House is referred to as the Browne-Tarleton House within the NRHP nomination.
