The Walker House is a historic house on South Knerr Drive in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The oldest portion of this two-story brick T-shaped house was built in 1872 by David Walker, a prominent local lawyer, judge, politician, and landowner. Its main facade is covered by a two-story porch with ornamental carved brackets. The rear extension was added in 1878. The house has been in the hands of Knerr family descendants since 1910.[2]
