The house was designed and built in the early 20th century by Charles L. Thompson and his associates. Official recognition of its historical importance came in 1982 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The house reflects how families lived and designed their homes in early 20th-century Arkansas, showing the preferences of well-to-do residents. The rooms and their arrangement tell you something about daily habits and what mattered most to people then.

The house sits in a quiet rural setting within Lonoke County and is easy to reach by car. Visitors should check beforehand if access is possible, since this is a private residence.

The house is part of a collection of designs left by Thompson and his office across the region and carefully documented. This collection helps people today understand the work of a local architect who shaped early 20th-century building in Arkansas.
