The Capps House is a historic house in rural Monroe County, Arkansas. It is located in the southern part of the county, just east of Arkansas Highway 17 on the north side of County Road 48 (New Cutts Road). It is a two-story brick I-house, oriented east-west. A porch across its southern (front) facade was reported in 1990 to be collapsed, while the northern porch retained original chamfered posts, despite having been screened. The property includes as outbuildings a small pumphouse and a barn, and includes the family cemetery of William T. Capps, who built this house c. 1875. It is one of the best-preserved 19th-century I-houses in this part of the county.[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
