"The John Archibald Phillips is a two-story, residential building constructed in 1891 in the Queen Anne style. The dwelling is one of Poplar Bluff's most intact and representative examples of the Queen Anne style. The dwelling is a two-and-one-half-story, asymmetrical plan building which rests on a brick foundation and has a gable roof, two interior brick chimneys, and an exterior of weatherboard siding. The dwelling retains the majority of its original detailing. The interior floor plan is unaltered and displays its original ornate staircase, pocket doors, fireplace mantles, and wainscoting. In addition to the dwelling, a cast iron fence is included as a contributing structure to the property." - National Register Nomination
The house served as the Butler County Historical Society Museum for several years. The house is in very good condition and is now a private residence.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
