The West Washington Avenue Historic District of Jonesboro, Arkansas, encompasses a concentrated grouping of residential buildings built between 1890 and 1930. It represents the best-preserved section of the city's first planned subdivision, including thirteen historic properties on a 1-1/2 block stretch of West Washington Avenue extending east from Mclure Street and beyond Flint Street. Stylistically these houses represent a cross-section of architecture popular in the period, including Queen Anne Victorians and Tudor Revival structures. Most of the houses are built of brick, and there is one church.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
