Short-Dodson House

-A A +A
1900, Joseph G. Horn. 755 Park Ave.
  • (Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, A Division of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, Ralph Wilcox, photographer)

This Queen Anne house was designed by Hot Springs architect Horn for physician Omar Short. It is one of the few of Horn’s buildings to survive; many burned in the fire of 1913. Thomas Dodson bought the house in 1907. The two-and-a-half-story house’s picturesque massing is enhanced by a wraparound porch carried on paired columns, bay windows, and gables, and a circular corner tower with a conical roof rises above the main hipped roof.
