McDonald–Wait–Newton House


The McDonald–Wait–Newton House is a historic house at 1406 Cantrell Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a mansard roof providing a full third story. The main facade is five bays wide, with a projecting central section topped by a mansarded tower. The roof is pierced by dormers with segmented-arch tops, and windows framed by decorative hoods. The main entrance is set in the base of the tower, with an elliptical stained glass light above. A porch shelters the entrance and wraps around to the right side, with a modillioned cornice and bracketed posts. Built in 1869, it is the last surviving post-Civil War mansion built along what became known as "Carpetbaggers' Row", as it is where a number of Northerners settled when moving to the city.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
