The James C. Tappan House, also known as the Tappan-Pillow House, is a historic house at 717 Poplar Street in Helena, Arkansas. It is a two story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a hip roof. A two-story porch projects from the main facade, topped by a Greek Revival triangular pediment with brackets. The porch is supported by square columns and has urn-shaped balusters. The house was built in 1858 for James C. Tappan, and is unusual for the extremely early appearance of otherwise later Victorian features in its design. Tappan served as a general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War; his house was occupied by higher-ranking Union Army officers during the occupation of Helena.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
