The Edward Ransom Farmstead, Livestock and Equipment Barn was a historic agricultural outbuilding in rural White County, Arkansas. It was located on the Ransom Farmstead, a few miles south of Midway, on the west side of United States Route 167. It was a 1+1⁄2-story structure, built in part out of logs and in part out of wood framing. Its principal form was derived from three log cribs, joined by saddle- and V-notching, a form not seen anywhere else in the county. It was built about 1915.
St. James is an unincorporated community in Stone County, Arkansas, United States. St. James is located on Arkansas Highway 14, 11.4 miles (18.3 km) east of Mountain View. The Pinky Pruitt Barn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in St. James.
The Loy Kirksey House is a historic house in rural Clark County, Arkansas. It is located on the south side of Still Creek Road east of the hamlet of Fendley. This single-story dog trot house was built in stages, beginning with a single log pen that probably predates the American Civil War. Around 1895 this structure was expanded to form the dog-trot by William Kirksey. The only significant alteration since then is the replacement of the original chimney in the mid-20th century with the present brick one. The property also includes two single-story log barns built in the early decades of the 20th century.
The Rector Log Barn is a historic barn in rural Izard County, Arkansas. It is located on the Rector Plantation, at the end of County Road 218, northwest of Melbourne. Its central portion, a log structure 2+1⁄2 stories in height, was built c. 1855, and is the only known example in the region of an antebellum era log barn. The main structure is flanked on all sides by 20th-century single-story shed-roof extensions, which serve in part to protect the historic log elements. The barn was built by Joseph William Rector, an early settler of Izard County, probably with the use of slave labor.
The Rife Farmstead is a historic farm property in rural Benton County, Arkansas. Located on the west side of County Road 47 about 1.25 miles (2.01 km) north of its junction with Arkansas Highway 264, it consists of a single-story Bungalow-style stone house with a front-gable roof, and a side gable projecting portico. The house was built in 1928 by Luther Rife, and is unusual in this rural setting, where most houses are vernacular in form. The property original had two c. 1910 barns when the property was surveyed in 1988; these are apparently no longer standing.
The Clarence Anderson Barn is a historic barn on the north side of Arkansas Highway 66 in the hamlet of Newnata, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with vertical board siding and enclosed sheds on the side. The interior is organized in a transverse crib manner.

The William Dillard Homestead is a historic homestead property in rural northeastern Stone County, Arkansas. It is located on the Round Bottom area northeast of Mountain View, on a plateau above the river's flood plain. It consists of two log structures, both now used as barns, that were built c. 1837, and are the oldest standing structures in the county. A single-pen log cabin stands on rough stone piers, and is covered by a gable roof. The walls are rough-hewn logs, joined by V notches. A shed-roof ell extends on the southern side of the structure, and more modern box-constructed sheds are attached to the north and east sides. A double crib barn stands across the road from the cabin.
The Gates-Helm Farm is a historic early homestead property in rural Searcy County, Arkansas. It is located on both sides of County Road 13, north of Snowball. The property includes a single-pen log house, and a single-pen log barn, both built c. 1870, and a wood frame double-pen house built around 1900. The log structures, located down a lane on the west side of the road, were built by Peter Gates not long after purchasing the land. The house, on the east side of the road, was built by William Helm, who had married one of Gates' daughters. The property exemplifies the evolution of vernacular architecture of the period.

A shed addition extends along the building's north side. It was built in 1922 by Orvall Gammill, and is locally unusual due to its transverse crib form being executed in logs rather than lumber framing.
The Binks Hess House and Barn are a historic farm property in Marcella, Arkansas. Located just east of Arkansas Highway 14 on Partee Drive, it is a 1+1⁄2-story dogtrot house, with a side gable roof, weatherboard siding, and a stone pier foundation.

An ell extends to the rear. Behind the house stands the barn, built on a transverse crib plan with side shed-roof additions. Both house and barn were built about 1871 for Binks Hess, brother of Marcella's founder Thomas. The barn is believed to be the oldest in Stone County, and the first to use sawn lumber in its construction.

The Dr. Hudson Sanitarium Agricultural Building Historic District encompasses a small cluster of buildings constructed in the 1930s as part of a planned tuberculosis sanitarium in central northern Newton County, Arkansas. It is located on the west side of Arkansas Highway 327, southwest of Jasper, and includes three buildings. Two of them are modest 1+1⁄2-story log houses, finished with board-and-batten siding, and the third is a two-story wood-frame dairy barn. These were built 1936-39 pursuant to a plan by Dr. William Anderson Hudson, a doctor with deep family ties in the area, to provide facilities for tuberculosis sufferers in the remote area. His plans were frustrated by World War II and state regulations on such facilities, and the main sanitarium was never built.
The Morris Hartsell Farmstead is a historic farm property in northern White County, Arkansas. Located on the north side of Arkansas Highway 157 in the hamlet of Steprock, it has one of the finest assemblages of 19th century farm buildings to be found in the county. Its main house is a single-story double-pen structure with a gable roof and a massive stone chimney at one end. One pen is built out of hand-hewn logs, while the other is framed in dimensional lumber. The second pen dates to about 1880, and the building has been little changed since then. Also included on the property are an equipment shed, and a large timber-framed barn, both of which appear to date to the same time.
The Hoofman Farmstead Barn is a historic barn in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located north of Searcy, on the west side of Salem Church Road.

Built about 1920, it is the largest and possibly oldest historic stone structure in the county. It was built to serve as a large root cellar.
