Magnolia Manor is a historic house on Apple Blossom Drive in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. The two story wood-frame house was built in 1854–57, and is a fine local example of Greek Revival and some Italianate styling. The house features corner pilasters, a broad eave with brackets, and a main entry on its eastern facade sheltered by a single-story porch with deck above. A secondary entry on the south side is similarly styled. The house was built by a South Carolina plantation owner, and has been owned by two state senators, Fletcher McElhannon and Olen Hendrix.[1] The manor's lands once extended all the way to Arkansas Highway 51.
