Mayor Ray Baker always says, “Life’s Worth Living in Fort Smith, Arkansas!”  Boy, he knows what he’s talking about!  Living just got a little more historic with the recent announcement from Frances McSwain, Arkansas Historic Preservation Program Director.

“Today, Fort Smith is a city of diverse sties, including the May-Lecta-Sweet neighborhood, which has managed to maintain its historic ambience with its tree-lined streets and historic homes,” the National Register nomination says. “The neighborhood has retained its quaintness, charm and architectural character, allowing the district to stand out as an excellent example of early suburban development in Fort Smith.”

The May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District is the second Historic District in Ft. Smith.  The Belle Grove Historic District is one of the most recognized Historic Districts in the state.

The May-Lecta-Sweet Historic District has about 130 “structures” built between 1890 and 1958! The area has maintained it’s historical character through the years, and the different homes have their own unique architectural design.  The entire area is very pleasing to drive through and even better to take an evening stroll.
