-Curran Hall was constructed in 1842 in the Greek Revival style adapted to a Southern frontier setting. The symmetrical, one-story house has a central hall with a large room opening to each side. Walls are three bricks thick. The original narrow front porch has been fully restored. The hip roof, covered with wood shakes, included cypress box gutters. Four square columns supported an entablature with bold dentil trim. Few houses of this era remain with so few interior alterations.

-A children's playhouse was also constructed in 1848. About 1960, the current playhouse was reconstructed using materials from various historic Little Rock houses.
