The John Clifton House is a historic house at 1803 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas.

Architecture

[edit]

It is a single-story brick structure, with a porch wrapping around the front facade, supported by large square brick piers. It has a low-pitch roof with rafters exposed at the gabled side elevations, and horizontal ribbons of windows. It is a fine local example of the Prairie School of architecture, and the best in the Pleasant Hill neighborhood.

History

[edit]

The house was built in 1908 for John Dial Clifton and Frances Brewer Clifton, and was a well-known site of social gatherings. Clifton, who worked for an importer, died of tuberculosis in 1934.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
