Jacob Wolf House, Territorial courthouse in Norfork, Arkansas.
The Jacob Wolf House stands on a hill above the White and North Fork Rivers, featuring a two-story log structure with a central breezeway design.
Built in 1829, this structure served as the first permanent courthouse for Izard County until 1835, when administrative boundaries were reorganized.
The courthouse grounds became a central meeting point where families gathered during legal proceedings, fostering community connections in early Arkansas Territory.
Located at 13775 Highway 5 South in Norfork, the site includes restrooms, a pavilion, and interpretive exhibits about frontier life.
The building housed John P. Houston, brother of Texas politician Sam Houston, who worked as a county clerk in the lower level offices.
