Forest Service Headquarters Historic District

The Forest Service Headquarters Historic District is a historic district in Hot Springs, Arkansas, encompassing a collection of six historic government buildings on the south side of the junction of Winona and Indiana Streets. These six vernacular stuccoed wood-frame structures were built by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) between 1933 and 1939 to serve as the headquarters of the Jessieville district of the Ouachita National Forest. The buildings later served as the headquarters for the entire Ouachita National Forest. The approximately 4 acres (1.6 ha) district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 20, 1993, as part of the Facilities Constructed by the CCC in Arkansas Multiple Property Submission.
