The district covers the historic core of the University of Arkansas campus, including 25 buildings.

Building resumed following many Public Works Administration grants after World War II.

[7] John Mills Van Osdel's original plan called for a clock, but one was not installed until 2005.

[8] Old Main currently houses the offices of the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, its honors program and five academic departments, as well as classrooms and meeting spaces.

The lawn also contains the Spoofer's Stone, a piece of limestone that the builders of Old Main left in place after it fell out of an oxcart and broke.

The stone was used as a meeting place for males and females during the 1880s when students of opposite sexes weren't allowed to mix.

[8] Senior Walk is a concrete footpath of over 3.5 miles (5.6 km) started in 1905 that contains the name of University of Arkansas graduates.

[11] Initially, sections of the walk were created by a representative of the graduating class who simply wrote the students' names in the wet concrete; the university began using brass letter stamps to imprint the names in wet concrete in the 1920s and continued that process until the late 1970s.

[1] The building was named after Ella Carnall, a noted teacher and role model for young women, and one of the campus’ first female faculty members.

It was completed by 1906 and named for Miss Ella Howison Carnall, who was a prominent professor of English and modern languages from 1881 to 1894 at the university.

[17] The Hall was built on the far northeast corner of campus in keeping with the university's strict rules against fraternization between the sexes.

Despite being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the building fell into disrepair, and closed in 1991.

Peabody Hall was completely renovated, inside and out, in 2011, garnering an award from the Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas.

Originally a Women's Gymnasium, it was completed in 1925 by the campus Department of Buildings and Grounds with help from the engineering students.

[19] Today, the building is used by the Army ROTC with the Gym converted into a Drill hall with classrooms and the basement into offices and a lounge for cadets.

The Agriculture Building and Engineering Hall were built at the same time in the same style, as part of the 1925 master plan.

Chi Omega donated the theatre to the university, and president John C. Futrall accepted the gift on June 28, 1930, in accordance with the 1925 Jamieson and Spearl master plan.

The landscape around the Chi Omega Greek Theatre includes shade trees, hedges, and scenic lawns.

[1] It was constructed using Public Works Administration funding in conjunction with Vol Walker Library as part of the 1925 master plan.

The dining hall was constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style by Wittenberg & Delony of Little Rock, completed in 1937.

[23] It housed Arkansas Razorbacks basketball until the construction of Barnhill Arena in 1954, the physical education department until 1982, and the university museum until 2003.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1992 as Student Union Building-University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

That fee, coupled with Public Works Administration funding, resulted in the construction of Memorial Hall, which at the time was named Student Union.

The grand building was opened in March 1940, and featured a bookstore, restaurant, post office, confectionery, and a large ballroom with bandshell.

The building remained as it was for ten years, until a large three-story addition was finished to provide better food services.

Upon completion of the Arkansas Union in 1973, Memorial Hall became home to the psychology department, and many of the rooms were converted to classrooms.

Memorial Hall's interior contains many art deco features from the period of construction, including large lights near the steps of the north entrance and many sleek lines.

The floors feature repeating patterns typical of art deco construction and the staircases appear streamlined and modern.
