Merrill House (Rogers, Arkansas)

The Merrill House is a historic house at 617 South Sixth Street in Rogers, Arkansas. It is a single story brick and masonry structure, with a hip roof that has a bell-cast shape and wide overhangs. A central projecting section has a grouping of three windows and is flanked on both sides by porches, one screened and one open. The arrangement of windows as well as the horizontal organization of stone and brickwork is all reminiscent of the Prairie School of Frank Lloyd Wright. The house, built in 1917, was a nearly complete rebuild of an older (c. 1880) house. Its designer and owner was A. W. Merrill, a local woodworker and lumber yard owner. It is the only Prairie School-influenced house in Rogers.[2]
