Bell House (Jonesboro, Arkansas)


The Bell House is a historic house at 303 West Cherry Street in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood frame structure, built in 1895 by J. V. Bell, owner of one of Jonesboro's first bookstores. The house is an elaborately-decorated Queen Anne Victorian, with an asymmetrical arrangement of projecting bays, gables, and porches. The front porch has a delicate spindle-work frieze, and is supported by turned columns. Different types of cut shingles give variety to the wall surfaces.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
