The E. S. Greening House was a historic house at 707 East Division Street in Hope, Arkansas. It was a two-story wood-frame structure built in 1903, with a projecting bay rising a full two stories and a shed-roof porch wrapping around two sides of the house. The house was notable primarily for its high quality and elaborate interior woodwork, even though its exterior was not a particularly elaborate version of Queen Anne styling. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. [1] As of 2014, it has apparently been demolished, and is (according to the Arkansas Preservation Office) in the process of being delisted from the National Register.
