Regarding Mitchell House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
The Mitchell House, 1927, located in the heart of Gentry, is a flawless example of a craftsman bungalow.…
Anexcellent example of the pure bungalow form, the Mitchell House is architecturally unique in Gentry. From the exposed rafters and brackets under the eaves to the large front porch with battered columns, from the shed dormer to the mixture of materials, the house exhibits many of the trademarks of the Craftsman style, which are not often found in smaller Arkansas towns.
