The James C. Tappan House, also known as the Tappan-Pillow House, is a historic house at 717 Poplar Street in Helena, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a hip roof. A two-story porch projects from the main facade, topped by a Greek Revival triangular pediment with brackets. The porch is supported by square columns and has urn-shaped balusters.
History
[edit ]
The house was built in 1858 for James C. Tappan, and is unusual for the extremely early appearance of otherwise later Victorian features in its design. Tappan served as a senior officer in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War; his house was occupied by higher-ranking United States Army officers during the occupation of Helena.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1973.[1]
