Regarding The Shull House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Shull House in Lonoke, Arkansas wasdesigned by the Thompson and Harding firm in 1917. Located across the street from the city park, the Shull House is a good example of the earthy comfortable feeling of Craftsman design. The dark red brick house features a tile clipped gable roof. Also contributing to the rich texturalism of the Shull House are the gab1es which feature stucco, half-timbering and large brackets. The setting, so abundant with large trees and vegetation provides a lush, dark atmosphere for this homey cottage-like house.
