It includes many typical Queen Anne elements including iron cresting along the horizontal ridgelines, a large octagonal turret, steep pitched roof, gingerbread detailing, and an asymmetricaI facade. It
also has a covered wraparound spindled porch with elaborate woodwork. The Duncan Mouse is located in the terraced Fick Addition of Harrison, Arkansas. It was originally laid out in 1884 on a stepped contour lot. The home is five blocks from the National Register Historic District of downtown Harrison, Arkansas.
