Sheeks House United States historic place

The Sheeks House is a historic house at 502 Market Street in Corning, Arkansas. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure with a hip roof. A slightly projecting center section of its main facade is dominated by two-story gable-roofed portico, supported by a pair of two-story round Ionic columns. Passing under this portico is a single-story porch spanning the facade's three bays. The house was built in 1872 by E.

Sheeks, one of the small community's first significant businessmen. Although of some architectural interest for the early 20th-century alterations that dominate its appearance, it is most significant for its association with these two men, both prominent in the politics and business of the region.
