The Henry Copeland House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 14 in Pleasant Grove, a small community in southeastern Stone County, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood frame structure, built in a traditional dogtrot form with two pens and a breezeway. Ells extend the house to the rear and off the northern pen. A hip-roof porch extends across the front, supported by turned posts. Built about 1895, the house is a fine local example of period vernacular architecture combining traditional forms with the then-fashionable Victorian styles. [2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

The Jay Lewis House is a historic house at 12 Fairview Drive in McGehee, Arkansas. The two story wood frame house was built in 1955 to a design by Edward Durell Stone, an Arkansas native and a leading proponent of new formalism. It is the only Stone-designed house in Desha County, and one of only five in the state. The exterior of the house is clad in vertical cypress boards, with a porch that wraps completely around the house, and a breezeway connecting to a carport, built at the same time. The porch roof is supported by six Douglas fir beams. The interior of the house is based on Stone's modern reinterpretation of the traditional Arkansas dog trot form, with the central living/dining/kitchen area acting as the central element of that form. Other rooms of the house connect to this section, and are separated from it by Shōji screens. The house's basic design is similar to that of another house Stone designed in Englewood, New Jersey. The house is largely unchanged since its construction; one chimney has been replaced due to storm damage.
The Henry Atchley House is a historic house in Dalark, Arkansas, a rural town in western Dallas County. It is located on County Road 249, just off Arkansas Highway 8.

The house is basically vernacular in form, but has a number of stylish elements, including turned posts supporting a hip-roofed porch across the front, and a double-door entry with transom window. The front block of the house has a side-gable roof pierced by three gabled dormers, and there is a cross-gabled ell extended to the rear. The house was built in the economic boom associated with the arrival of the railroad and the community's subsequent economic success as a lumber town.
