The Col. John Critz Farm Springhouse was a historic farm outbuilding in rural western White County, Arkansas. It was located northwest of Searcy on the south side of County Road 818. It was a single-story masonry structure, fashioned out of a combination of cut and rustic rubble stone and covered by a gabled roof. The westernmost part of the building, which housed the well, was enclosed in wooden latticework, with a latticework door providing access. Built in 1858, it was the oldest known springhouse in the county, and was also unusual for its mixed stone construction.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It has been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.[2]
