Built by Jonas M. Tebbetts about 1858, this house served as headquarters for Federal troops during the Battle of Fayetteville on April 18, 1863. Two doors still bear scars from the fighting, with panels splintered by minie balls. Confederate cavalry, led by General W.L. Cabell, charged down from East Mountain against Federal forces commanded by Colonel M. LaRue Harrison of the First Arkansas Cavalry USA. Most of the casualties occurred on the campus of old Arkansas College directly across the street.
