The Foster House is a historic house at 420 North Spruce Street in Hope, Arkansas. The house was designed by Texarkana architects Witt, Siebert and Halsey, and built in 1918 for Leonidas Foster, a prominent local businessman, landowner, and cotton broker. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, with a hip roof pierced by a gable-roofed dormer. A porch supported by brick piers extends across the front facade, and is augmented by a porte-cochère on the left side. The house is an excellent local example of a Foursquare house with Craftsman and Prairie details.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
