The Passmore House is a historic house at 846 Park Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a large 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a seven-bay facade topped by a mansard roof with a crested surround and elaborately styled dormers. A central two-story pavilion projects, with a double-door entrance on the first floor, and French doors on the second level that open to a shallow lattice balcony. The house was built in 1873 for Dr. Pauldin Passmore, one of Hot Springs's first doctors, who benefitted from the locality's popularity as a site for the treatment of medical conditions.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.^[1]
