About this property

The Park Hill Historic District encompasses the first suburban residential subdivision of the city of North Little Rock, Arkansas. It covers 172 acres (70 ha) in a geographically central part of the city, bisected by JFK Boulevard, and roughly bounded on the north by H Avenue, the west by Ridge Road, the east by Cedar Street and Plainview Circle, and the south by Crestview Drive. This area was developed beginning in 1922 by Justin Matthews, a major local developer, and greatly expanded the city's housing stock through the 1940s and 1950s. The vast majority of its architecture is residential, with commercial development limited to its major arterial roadways. The district includes Crestview Park and the Park Hill Fire Station and Water Company Complex. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
