The Douglas House is a historic house in rural Benton County, Arkansas. It is located on a county road, 0.8 miles (1.3 km) east of Arkansas Highway 12, about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) north of its junction with Arkansas Highway 264. It is a 1-1/2 story vernacular double pen frame house with a side gable roof and a rear wing. Its main facade lacks both windows and doors, which are found on the gable ends and to the rear. It also has a hip-roofed porch supported by turned columns. The house was built c. 1890, and is a little-altered example of this once-common regional form.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
