The Blackburn House is a historic house at Main and College Streets in Canehill, Arkansas. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a cross-gable hip roof and a stone foundation. The house has the asymmetrical massing and decorative wood shingle siding in its gables that are characteristic of Queen Anne architecture, and shed-roof porch extending across its main facade, supported by box columns. The porch has a gabled pediment above the stairs leading to the main entrance, and a symmetry more typical of the Colonial Revival. Built in 1898 by a local doctor, this house is a well-preserved local example of this transitional form.[2]
