The Claude Fouke House[a] was a historic house at 501 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It was a two-story brick structure with a hip roof, set on a raised corner lot. It was one of the city's most elaborate Classical Revival structures, with a monumental temple front supported by pairs of fluted Ionic columns rising to the full height of the facade. The roof had an elaborate modillioned cornice, with a small triangular pediment containing a half-round window. The interior of the house contained equally impressive woodwork. The house was built in 1903 by Claude Fouke, the son of railroad baron George Fouke.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

After 28 months of neglect by the owner, Beech Street First Baptist Church, the structure was demolished and the debris removed in March 2022.[3] It was delisted in September 2022.[4]
