The Dr. Stephen N. Chism House is a historic house in rural Logan County, Arkansas. It is located north of Booneville, on the east side of Arkansas Highway 23 about south of its junction with Arkansas Highway 217. It is a two-story log dogtrot house, with two log pens flanking an open breezeway, with a gable roof for cover. Built about 1844-45, it is believed to be the oldest log building in the county. Log Builder Paul Glidewell completed the complete restoration of the house in late 2013. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
It’s been restored and is now for sale. I toured the property with a realtor friend last week. Taxes on the house are so cheap. Someone should scoop this up for an Air BnB listing. It’s very reasonably priced for being on the Nation Historic Places registry. History on the property and who Dr. Chism was, is a bit wishy washy. They believe that he birthed all of the babies in the county at that time.
Gorgeous restoration. And an old church next door. The family of Dr. Chism still owns the house and lives nearby. There’s a road that leads to woods at the back of the property, FULL of ticks. But they told us slave graves were back there, but unfortunately we believe it’s been paved over to make a water tower for the area.
