W. L. Wood House

The W. L. Wood House is a historic house at 709 North Morrill Street in Morrilton, Arkansas, United States. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, weatherboard exterior, and foundation of stone and brick. It has the asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne period, with a three-story turret at the left corner, and a porch that wraps across the front and around the base of the tower. The porch is supported by round columns and has a turned balustrade and a low gable over the main steps. A large gable that projects from the main roof has a rounded-corner balcony at its center. The interior has richly detailed woodwork in the Eastlake style. The house was purchased as a prefab from Sears & Roebuck, shipped by rail to Morrilton, moved to its current location by mule drawn wagon and built in 1905–06 for William L. Wood, a prominent local businessman.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
