# McKennon-Shea House

The McKennon-Shea House is a historic house at 206 Waterman Street in Dumas, Arkansas. The 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1910, and bought in 1913 by Claude McKennon, a local entrepreneur who established a farm supply business in Dumas at about the same time, and built a real estate empire of farmland operated by tenant farmers. Mckennon's daughter Sarah married Thomas Shea, and their son inherited the property. The house is a vernacular rendering of Folk Victorian and Colonial Revival styling, with gingerbread decoration and four Tuscan columns supporting a central projecting gable.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
