The J.K. Wadley House is a historic house at 618 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. Built in 1895, this two-story wood frame structure is a fine local example of the Free Classical type of Queen Anne styling, and is notable as the longtime home of John Keener Wadley, a lumber, railroad, and oil baron listed as one of the wealthiest men in the United States. The house features a wraparound porch with a pedimented gable, supported by grouped columns. The exterior is finished in clapboarding on the lower level and decorative cut shingles on the upper level. A low onion-domed turret rises from the southern corner.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1] The house currently houses a bed and breakfast inn.
