The Jessie Abernathy House is a historic house located south of Partee Drive, just east of Arkansas Highway 14 in the hamlet of Marcella, Stone County, Arkansas.

Description and history

[edit]

The 1+12-story timber-framed structure is five bays wide, and has a side gable roof and rear ell. The front entry is sheltered by a hip-roof porch supported by turned columns. Built in 1884, it is a local example of vernacular late Victorian architecture in a rural setting, as well as central hall plan architecture.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1985.[1]
