Rector House, Historic residence in Arkansas, United States
Rector House is a single-story wood-frame house at 603 West Quitman Street in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Its gable-on-hip roof extends at a lower slope over a wraparound porch carried by Tuscan columns on brick piers. Right of the porch entrance, a projecting gabled section has a small square window flanked by vents and topped by a mini-gable.
Built in 1915–16, the Rector House is a wood-frame, single-story example of the "Free Classic" form of Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, at 603 West Quitman Street in Heber Springs.
The house's name recalls the rector it was associated with, and its 1915–16 construction places it in Heber Springs' early 20th-century development. Visitors can spot the Tuscan columns on brick piers along the wraparound porch, a hallmark of the Free Classic Queen Anne style.
The house stands at 603 West Quitman Street, a short walk from the centre of Heber Springs. It is a private residence, so visitors see it from the public street; the wraparound porch, Tuscan columns on brick piers and the gabled section right of the entrance are best read from the sidewalk.
The gable end facing the porch holds a small square window flanked by vents and topped by a mini-gable, a detail easy to miss from the street. The house is a noted local example of the Free Classic form of Queen Anne architecture.
