Dickinson-Moore House
The Dickinson-Moore House is a historic house at 707 Robert S. Moore Avenue in Arkansas City, Arkansas. This 1 1⁄2-story Craftsman style house was built c. 1915, probably for a member of the locally prominent Dickinson family, one of its early occupants. The house is distinctive for being built on a brick foundation 5 feet (1.5 m) high, for protection against floods that regularly visited the area. (Despite this precaution, the house was under eight feet of water in a major 1927 flood.) The house has retained its original siding and windows, and exhibits typical Craftsman details such as exposed rafter ends and large knee brackets in the eaves.[2]
