The James Sparks House is a historic house at 201 North 14th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with a round three-story tower at one corner, around which a wraparound porch extends. It features Romanesque segmented-arch and round-arch windows, and chimneys with decorative corbelled tops. The interior features high-quality woodwork original to the house's c. 1887 construction. It was built by James M. Sparks, a prominent local businessman who was the son of an Irish immigrant. The house was carefully restored in the 20th century.
