Thanks to Linda Hatcher, once again,
her information on the "Packett House" allowed me to find more info on the
National Register for this house. I am sorry but "Designing Women" should
have been made here and not at the "Villa Marre," but that is just my opinion
and you know what they say about opinions.
This house was built by from 1869 -
1871 by Alexander McDonald, one-time Senator of Arkansas and at one time
considered the richest man in the state. He did not own the house long
before selling it in the 1870's. He died in 1903.
