Victorian era architecture
In 1882, the Eureka Improvement Company was formed to attract a railroad to the city. With the completion of the railroad, Eureka Springs established itself as a vacation resort. In only two years, thousands of homes and commercial enterprises were constructed. The Crescent Hotel was built in 1886 and the Basin Park Hotel in 1905. These many Victorian buildings have been well preserved, forming a coherent streetscape that has been recognized for its quality.

In 1891, the Queen Anne Mansion was built in Carthage, Missouri, by Curtis Wright, a Union veteran of the Civil War. Wright came to the area in 1888 to mine the lead and zinc deposits, before eventually starting the Carthage Stone Company to gather limestone from a local quarry. Wright was the owner of a large furniture factory in Indiana, and came to Carthage as part of a six-month tour of the Midwest to find a place to relocate his family. When Wright saw the wealth potential in the area, he wrote to his wife, promising to build her "the biggest house in Carthage" if she would agree to the move. The 29-room mansion is an example of Queen Anne architecture. Curtis Wright eventually lost his fortune and gave up the home to pay taxes. The mansion passed through several owners before being dismantled piece by piece and moved to Eureka Springs by Ron and Mary Evans of Kansas City, Missouri, in 1984. The Evanses made extensive renovations and ran the property as a bed and breakfast until 2005, when they sold the property to Steve and Lata Lovell of Chicago. The Lovells turned the mansion into a museum in May 2010, and in November 2012 they announced that the mansion would be sold as a fractional ownership private residence club.
