Scipio A. Jones House

The Scipio A. Jones House is a historic house at 1872 South Cross Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a 1+12-story masonry structure, finished in an elaborate interpretation of the Craftsman style with a variety of materials. It has a clipped-gable roof covered with red tile, with a skirt of roofing extending across the front above the first floor. The entrance is recessed under a stone-faced arch, which is flanked by stuccoed bays with bands of three sash windows. The gable above also has a three-sash window group. The house was built about 1928 for Scipio Jones, one of Arkansas' most prominent African-American lawyers and politicians of the period.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
