The Chandler House is a historic house in rural northern White County, Arkansas. It is located just north of the junction of Stanley and Honeysuckle Roads, northwest of Bald Knob. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with weatherboard siding and a gable roof. A hip-roofed porch extends around its front to the side, supported by square posts, and a shed-roof addition extends to the rear. The front is symmetrically arranged, three bays wide, with sash windows on either side of the entrance, and a third window in the gable above. The house was built about 1885, and is probably one of the first gable-entry houses to be built in White County, and one of a very few to survive from the 19th century. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. [1]
