Richie-Crawford House


Richie-Crawford House


In  striking  display  of neoclassical styles, the Richie-Crawford House feaures full height fluted columns  capped  with  the ionic capitols  which support  the roof of  the two story porch.  Above the  porch  is a classical  pediment  punctuated  with  an infilled  ox-eye  window.  Completed  in 1909   for   the  family   of   businessman  Walter  Richie,  the  home  in  subsequent  decades  was  owned   by   Clyde   and   Maude  Crawford.   It  was   from   this   home  that  Mrs.  Crawford,  an attorney,   mysteriously  disappeared  on  March  2,  1957  in  one of Arkansas' most talked about unsolved mysteries.
