The Mitchell–Ward House is a historic house at 201 North Nelson in Gentry, Arkansas. Its main block is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a cross-gable roof, and a large gable above the porch in the crook of the L. The three front-facing gable ends have decorative Folk Victorian jigsawn trim and different styles of siding, and the porch features turned posts, a spindled balustrade, and a decorative frieze. The interior has also retained all of its original woodwork. The house was built in 1897, and is one of the finest Queen Anne/Folk Victorian houses in the city.[2]

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