The Wasson House is a historic house on Main Street in Springtown, Arkansas. It is a well-preserved example of an I-house, built c. 1890. It is five bays wide, with a side gable roof, and a two-story porch, supported by Tuscan columns, extending across the center three bays, with a latticework balustrade at the second level. A two-story ell extends to the rear, and there is a period brick combination well house/smoke house nearby. Both the interior and exterior retain significant original woodwork and other design elements.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
