Deepwood House is a historic house at 4697 West Finger Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Built about 1960, it was the personal residence of architect Herb Fowler.[2] The property includes the main house, a guest house, and several outbuildings, all designed by Fowler and built by 1965. Building materials are wood and stone chosen to fit organically with the site, about 30 acres (12 ha) at the top of Kessler Mountain. The main house features a broad expanse of south-facing windows, and a sunken garden just to its west. It and the nearby guest house have gable-on-hip roofs, with extended eaves providing additional shade.
