Save the 1885 Richard Morris Knox House

Donation protected
The Richard Morris Knox House, built in 1885, stands as the finest example of Eastlake Victorian architecture in Arkansas. Located in Pine Bluff, this historic home was originally constructed for Richard Morris Knox and has witnessed generations of local history. Sadly, Pine Bluff has already lost much of its historic architecture due to neglect, and now this remarkable house faces the threat of demolition unless urgent action is taken.

Donations are urgently needed to secure ownership of the home so that restoration efforts can begin. The first priority is to purchase the property and ensure it remains in the hands of those who value its significance. Once ownership is secured, the next step will be to restore the house, starting with a new roof to protect it from further damage. Every contribution will help preserve a vital piece of Pine Bluff and Arkansas history for future generations.

Please help donate to save one of Pine Bluff’s most important historic houses—not only for Pine Bluff, but for the state of Arkansas. Your support can make a lasting difference in preserving our shared heritage. Together, we can ensure that the Richard Morris Knox House continues to inspire and connect our community for years to come.
