The Jacob Wolf House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 5 in Norfork, Arkansas. It is a log structure, built in 1825 by Jacob Wolf, the first documented white settler of the area. Architecturally it is a "saddle bag", which is a two story dog trot with the second floor built over the open breezeway. A two story porch extends on one facade, with an outside stair giving access to the upper floor rooms. The building's original chinking has been replaced by modern mortaring. It is maintained by the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society as a historic house museum.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
