My Commentary:
The property is in good repair and is being used as a Bed and Breakfast. The building is an excellent example of Queen Anne architecture.
The Duncan house is a significant example of the Queen Anne style. The home was built by William M. Duncan in 1893. 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. The home is in good condition and is consistent in style of the period and the Queen Anne movement.
