The Ragland House is a historic house at 1617 South Center Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the Queen Anne period. Its exterior is elaborately decorated with bands of cut shingles on the second level, and a bulbed turret at one corner. A single-story porch wraps around the tower to the side, with a jigsawn valance and Stick style balustrade. Built about 1891–92, it is unusual as an early work of architect Charles L. Thompson, who is better known for more Colonial Revival designs.[1] The house was built for Mr. and Mrs. William Ragland. After the Raglands moved, Mrs. Ragland's parents, Edmond and Henriette Urguhart lived there until his death in 1905.
