The Compton-Woods House is a historic house at 800 High Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a cross-gable roof configuration, and wooden clapboard and shingle siding. It is a fine local example of late Queen Anne Victorian style, with a three-story square tower in the crook of an L, topped by a pyramidal roof. Decorative cut shingles adorn the upper floor. The interior features high quality period woodwork in mahogany, oak, and pine. Built in 1902, it is a surviving example of houses that were typically seen in its neighborhood, just south of the Arkansas State Capitol.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
