"The house was constructed by Judge Jonas Tebbetts and his wife in the Greek Revival architectural style. It was
completed by 1853. Although northwest Arkansans had both Union and Confederate sympathies, Tebbetts
became an outspoken supporter of the Union and was arrested in March 1862. Tebbetts was taken to Fort Smith
by Rebel General Benjamin McCulloch, but was released upon his death in the Battle of Pea Ridge. He escaped
to Fayetteville where he learned of a price on his head and fled to Missouri. Along with his Family, which was the last
time the family inhabited the home. The Union took command of the house shortly after their departure."
