Description and history
editBuilt around 1880, it was a 1+1⁄2-story timber-framed single pile structure with a central hall plan. A hip-roofed porch extends across much of the main facade, supported by turned posts. Despite later alterations, it was one of the best-preserved houses of this type in the county.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1992.[1] It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.[3]
