The Silas Owens Sr. House is a historic house at 157 Solomon Grove Road in Twin Groves, Arkansas. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of fieldstone with cream-colored brick and concrete trim elements. It has a gable roof with exposed rafter ends, and its front has an arcade of three segmented-arch openings. The house was built about 1948 by Silas Owens, Sr., a prominent regional master mason, as his family home. While the work is typical of his high quality, its use of cream-colored brick (one of his hallmarks) is unusually restrained.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
