The Turner House at 1701 Center in Little Rock was built 1904-05. This impressively large Colonial Revival house rests in one of Little Rock's most historic residential neighborhoods. Unusual architectural features of the Turner House include a large gambrel roof, round arched dormer windows and elaborate entry marked by a fanlight and sidelights with unusual tracery. The five bay facade of the house is particularly unique to [architect Charles L.] Thompson's designs.
Thompson was hired by Susan "Sue" C. Turner to build a very grand “spec” house. It was among several notable houses in Little Rock built by Turner, a businesswoman and real-estate speculator. in the 1890s and early 1900s. Others include the Turner-Ledbetter House (built 1892; also on the National Register); and the Turner-Marin House (c. 1905; later purchased by Arkansas State Capitol architect George R. Marin).
