Present-day Dardanelle's Front Street stretches for more than a mile along the treebordered Arkansas. The residential section spreads out to the southwest. The YELL COUNTY COURTHOUSE, which serves the north half of the county, is at the upper end of Front Street near the bridgehead. A creamery and a sawmill in the center of town provide the chief sources of income.

"Constructed in 1914, the Yell County Courthouse is a T-shaped, two story, brick and concrete masonry public institutional building designed in the Classical Revival style of architecture. The structure is supported by a continuous concrete foundation and topped with a gabled roof which bisects an octagonal, sectional dome. On top of the dome is a domed cupola which is supported by six small Doric columns with a central flag pole extending through the cupola dome."
