The Pillow Thompson House 1897 is an amazing example of Victorian Queen Anne design. This exquisite home is one of the finest examples of George Barber architecture in Arkansas. The plans were purchased from the Sears and Roebuck catalog, but the materials were sourced from the builders own lumber mills. The materials inside are gorgeous examples of Arkansas pine, oak and poplar. The transoms over the pocket doors have always contained burled wood, never glass. This home stayed in the Thompson family until it was donated to the University of Arkansas Community College of Phillips county. The historic home has undergone an extensive restoration thanks to generous donations from donors, and now serves as a community event center and is open for tours Wednesday-Saturday from 10-4. Hopefully if you ever come to see our Helen in Helena you’ll stop in and say hello to tour guide Raymond and let him show you the splendor of the Pillow-Thompson historic home!
