Frog Level

Frog Level is a two-story wooden house with a temple portico featuring four columns on each level and two rooms per floor. The structure stands near Magnolia and was designed as a residential building on a plantation property.

William Frazier constructed this residence between 1852 and 1854, creating one of the few remaining plantation houses in southwestern Arkansas. The building dates from a period when such residences were a key part of the rural landscape.

The property reflects the agricultural traditions and social structures of the antebellum period in the American South through its architecture and setting.

The house sits on the north side of County Road 148, west of County Road 27S and is marked as a National Register of Historic Places site. Visitors can observe the exterior architecture, which displays characteristic features of early regional construction methods.

The property's name comes from the countless frogs that inhabited the surrounding swampy areas during its early years. This naming choice reflects how closely the early residents were connected to their immediate natural surroundings.
