Stunning and beautifully maintained, this 1901 constructed home cherished by the same family, passed on from mother to daughter, for four generations and offers timeless character with exceptional function. Known as the Biscoe House and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a fine local example of Queen Anne styling and is the least-altered of several period houses on the street. The house was built by the widowed Nannie G. Biscoe as a family home and boarding house, offering residential spaces to students attending the nearby Ouachita Baptist College (University), where she also taught. This two-story with 14’ ceilings home is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence features solid wood virgin pine floors, a library, two family rooms, dining room and two levels of screened back porches designed to entertain friends or family while enjoying the large, secluded backyard. Rich in history and filled with vintage charm from the open foyer designed as a breezeway to flow towards the back door into the screened porch. Designed by famous Arkansas architect Charles Thompson, who also designed The Clark County Courthouse built in 1899 and Clark County Library built in 1903.
