The Chris Tompkins House is a historic house at 144 South Oak Drive in Burdette, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame structure, with a broadly overhanging hip roof and dormer. A porch with wrought iron railing extends across the front of the house, and a carport, added in 1938, is on the north side. The house was built in 1903 by the Three States Lumber Company, a major lumber operator in the early decades of the 20th century in Mississippi County, as a residence for mid-level managers. Burdette was essentially a company town at the time, and this is one of two houses from the period to survive.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
