One of those properties is located in Crawford County. The Pernot House was the home of mid-19th century businessman Dr. H.C.Pernot.
H. C. Pernot’s Queen’s Ware Store in the 700 block of Main Street Pernot sold earthenware, lamps, glassware, and picture framing supplies. He also ran a large livery stable, sale barn and and was a prominent member of the Van Buren city council in the second half of the century
Other properties to be considered for National Register nomination are:

* Scull Historic District at Conway in Faulkner County

The board will also consider the Bush House at Hot Springs in Garland County, Linwood Cemetery at Paragould in Greene County, and the YWCA Building, Memorial Stadium and American Legion Building-TAC House at El Dorado in Union County for listing on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places.
The Arkansas Register recognizes historically significant properties that do not meet National Register requirements.
