The Robert Atlas Harper House is a historic house at 201 North Main Street in Greenwood, Arkansas. Built about 1915, the house is a little-altered American Foursquare with a distinctive exterior made of a rough stone aggregate mixed with cement, creating a tabby-like rough stucco finish. Its front porch is also uniquely designed, with tapered square piers out of battered stone set atop a half-wall of the same material. The house was built by W. Calvin Stanfill, a local contractor who specialized in stone masonry work. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. [1]
