Dr. M.C. Hawkins House

The Dr. M.C. Hawkins House is a historic house at 4684 Arkansas Highway 8 in Parkdale, Arkansas. Built 1911–12, it is an excellent example of a Prairie School house designed by Little Rock architect Frank W. Gibb. It is a two-story structure faced in brick veneer, laid out in a T shape. The rectangular main block has a hip roof, while the kitchen wing, which extends to the rear, has a gabled roof. The main entrance is centered on the front facade, and is sheltered by a porch supported by brick columns and pilasters. The top of this porch functions as a deck, surrounded by brick posts and a simple wooden balustrade, which was originally a more complex jigsawn design.[2]
