Mitchell House (Waltreak, Arkansas)
The Mitchell House is a historic house in rural Yell County, Arkansas. It is located on the north side of Arkansas Highway 80, east of the Waltreak Methodist Church, in a northeastern finger of the Ouachita National Forest. The house is a single-story dogtrot structure, with a gable roof and a cross-gabled rear kitchen ell. The central breezeway has been enclosed, and houses the building entrance, which is sheltered by a shed-roof porch artfully decorated with vernacular woodwork. Built in 1891, it is one of the few 19th-century buildings surviving in the area, and is a well-preserved and unusual example of the dogtrot form.[2]
