The Barnett-Attwood House is a historic house outside New Edinburg in Cleveland County, Arkansas. It is believed to be the oldest standing structure in the county.
It was built c. 1835-36 by Nathaniel Barnett, one of the earliest settlers in the area. The structure he built is a five-room dogtrot house fashioned out of hand hewn pine timbers with square notches. This original structure still rests on its original pilings, but is also supported by a brick foundation. In 1961, its owner, C. W. Attwood, a Barnett descendant, added an L-shaped addition onto the rear, and renovated the original portion of the house, carefully maintaining the appearance by using hand hewn timbers when necessary.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1977.
