The Ida Hicks House was a historic house at 410 West Arch Street in Searcy, Arkansas. It was a two-story wood-frame structure with Craftsman styling, built in 1913 to a design by the noted Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson. It had a basically rectangular plan, but this was obscured by a variety of projections and porches. A single-story porch extended across the south-facing front, supported by brick piers, and with exposed rafters under the roof. The second floor had three groups of windows: the outer ones were three-part sash windows, while in the center there were two casement windows. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1] It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database, [3] and was delisted in 2018.
