The Visitors Chapel AME, located at 319 Church Street in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a three-story brick church erected in 1913 by architect J.H. Northington. The building embodies a distinctive hybrid of Classical and Gothic Revival styles, featuring a Greek cruciform plan with a central dome, a Classical gable front, and flanking towers with Gothic windows. Built for an African Methodist Episcopal congregation believed to have worshipped in Hot Springs since the 1870s, this structure represents the fourth known church building for the congregation and takes its name from the many visiting worshippers who have gathered there. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
