The Reeves-Melson House is a historic house in rural Montgomery County, Arkansas. It is a private inholding within Ouachita National Forest, located on the east side of Miles Road, north of Bonnerdale and east of Alamo. It is a single story dogtrot, with a log pen and a wooden frame pen separated by a breezeway under a gable roof. A shed-roof porch extends across the front, and the building is clad in weatherboard. The log pen has a trapdoor providing access to a dugout cellar, a feature not typically found in regional dogtrot houses. The log pen was built in 1882 by William Reeves, and the frame pen was built in 1888 by Larkin Melson. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. ^[1]
