Des Arc

The Prairie County Courthouse in Des Arc has to be high on the list of prettiest courthouses in Arkansas. This is partly due to its location, which is perched on a bluff overlooking a curve in the White River. The courthouse was built in 1913, and features a mixture of Georgian Revival and Romano-Tuscan architectural styles. The front of the courthouse is marked by a two story portico and also a clock tower. This is one of two courthouses in Prairie County, the other one is located in De Valls Bluff.


I should note that the tire tracks were already there when I took this photo, and not caused by me driving around the grass in front of the courthouse.
