The Maj. James Alexander Tappan House is a historic house at 727 Columbia Street in Helena, Arkansas. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, built in 1892 for James Tappan, a wealthy businessman from a prominent local family. The house is a fine Queen Anne Victorian, with a particularly elaborate porch with a spindled balustrade and delicately proportioned columns, which wraps around a turreted projection with a conical roof. The cornice is decorated with brackets and panels, and the exterior also features the use of decoratively-cut shingles. James Tappan operated a number of businesses, including coal supply and a hardware store, and was director of a local bank.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.^[1]
