The S.D. Merritt House is a historic house at 45 Arkansas Highway 25 North in Greenbrier, Arkansas. It is a single story masonry structure, its exterior clad in a distinctive combination of fieldstone laid in herringbone patterns, and cream-colored brick trim. It was designed by Silas Owens, Sr., a prominent regional African-American mason, and built c. 1950 by Owens and his son, Silas Jr. It is a basically L-shaped structure, with a covered carport at the left end, and a forward-projecting section on the right.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
