John Gabriel Fort House
The John Gabriel Fort House is a historic house in rural Logan County, Arkansas. It is located at a bend in Reveille Valley Road, roughly midway between Paris and Magazine. It is a single-story structure, consisting of two log pens joined by a side gable roof, with a frame addition extending to the rear. The logs have been hand-hewn square, and are joined by dovetail notches. Built about 1848, it is one of the county's oldest buildings, and is its best example of a "saddlebag" style house.[2]
