The Campbell House is a historic house at 305 North Forrest Street in Forrest City, Arkansas. It is a two story brick building, exhibiting classic Prairie School features including a low-pitch hip roof and wide eaves. It was built in 1917 by William Wilson Campbell, a leading banker and businessman in Forrest City, and remains in the hands of his descendants. It was severely damaged by fire in 1927, and had a large addition added in 1959. Campbell played host to a number of notable luminaries, including Will Rogers and Governor Winthrop Rockefeller.[2]
