The Sheeks House is a historic house at 502 Market Street in Corning, Arkansas. It is a 2+1⁄2-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.
