Rumph House

The Rumph House is a historic house at 717 Washington Street in Camden, Arkansas. In 1874 a single-story Victorian house was built, in which Dr. Junius Bragg, a Confederate Army surgeon, lived for many years. This house was extensively remodeled in 1925, during Arkansas' oil boom, adding a second floor, and restyling the building in the then-popular Craftsman style. This renovation was undertaken by Garland S. Rumph, who was prominent in local politics. Its Craftsman features include wide eaves, stuccoed gable ends, and exposed false rafter beams.[2]
