Regarding Wade-Heerwagen House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Heerwagen House is an example of vernacular architecture builtin Arkansas during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The house is ell-shaped with the front leg being two rooms deep, and working off of a central hall. The rear portion of the structure is the kitchen wing. Vernacular structures were built with this plan to emulate structures on the East Coast; or to be Georgian in appearance. The house is a good example of the type of structure built by the "middle class" in Arkansas in the late nineteenth century.
