The W.H. Winborne House, constructed ca. 1925, is a brick one-and-one half
story, rectangular plan, cross-gable roofed bungalow-craftsman style residence.
It features built in cabinet work, decorative mantels, and interior and exterior
furniture made by W.H. Winborne, a woodworking and furniture craftsman who owned
and operated a lumber company in Conway. The façade is dominated by a broad
peaked gable with knee-braces over an integral porch which wraps three
elevations. Tapering, paired, square posts have brick-pier bases and slot
balustrades. The paired porch posts support a horizontal board entablature. The
gable end is shingle-sheathed and ahs the tripartite window motif as in the
façade gable. Wallace Henry Winborne came to Conway in 1906 from North Carolina
and worked with the Burroughs Lumber Company, which he subsequently purchased
and named the W.H. Winborne Lumber Company. He built this residence ca. 1925,
about the time of his retirement and lived here until his death in 1947. The
house is one of the finest bungalow style residences in Conway. Winborne also
designed Conway’s town clock, completed in 1939 and built from local cypress.
