The Banks House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 72 west of Hiwasse, Arkansas. Built in 1900, it is a 1+1⁄2-story wood frame rendition of a double pen form more often found in log construction. It has weatherboard siding, a side gable main roof, and a wide single story front porch with round columns and a hip roof. A chimney rises at the eastern end, and an ell extends the house to the rear. It is a well-preserved local example of vernacular frontier architecture. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. ^[1]
