Samuel Brown House (West Richwoods, Arkansas)
The Samuel Brown House is a historic house in West Richwoods, Arkansas. Located down a long lane south of Arkansas Highway 9, it is a single-story log dogtrot house, with its two pens separated by an open breezeway. Its gable roof extends over the front (western) facade to create a porch, supported by chamfered wooden posts. The house is believed to retain its original weatherboard siding. A period smokehouse stands just south of the main house. The house was built in 1848 by Samuel Brown, who moved to Arkansas from North Carolina in 1840, and was progressively refined by him over the following decades as his financial condition improved.[2]
