Childers Farmstead

The Childers Farmstead is a historic farm property in rural southern White County, Arkansas. It is located south of McRae, near the junction of Bowman and Rip Kirk Roads. The farmstead includes three buildings: the main house, a large barn, and a small "Delco house", originally built to house electricity generation equipment provided by Delco Electronics. The main house is a vernacular single story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and a shed-roof porch extending across its main (northern) facade. That facade is symmetrically arranged, with Craftsman-style windows on either side of the entrance, which is flanked by half-length sidelights. The house was built about 1925, and is an unusual example of a retro version of Greek Revival architecture with Craftsman features. It was torn down in 2020. [2]
