The Casey House is a historic house on the Baxter County Fairgrounds in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Still at its original location when built c. 1858, is a well-preserved local example of a dog trot house, a typical Arkansas pioneer house. It is a rectangular structure made out of two log pens with a breezeway in between. It is finished in clapboard siding on the outside walls, and the breezeway is finished with flushboarding. A porch extends the width of the house front, and is sheltered by the side-gable roof that also covers the house. Colonel Casey, its builder, was one of Mountain Home's first settlers, and its first representative in the Arkansas legislature.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The house was destroyed during an F3 tornado on November 18, 1985.[2]
