The district essentially included the entire town as far as it extended in 1930, with exception of seven lots east of Second Street which had been redeveloped incompatibly in the 1970s, so was excluded.[2]

It includes Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, and Queen Anne architecture. It includes the Tensas Parish Courthouse which was separately listed on the National Register in 1979.[2]
