The Judge Benjamin Shaver House is a historic house at 701 12th Street in Mena, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a hip roof that projects over a two-story porch. There are further stepped projectings beyond this, culminating in an gable section supported by Ionic columns, with a Palladian window in the pedimented gable end. The house was built in 1896, two years after Mena was incorporated by Benjamin Shaver, a prominent local lawyer and judge. The building is further notable for its association with his daughter Dorothy, who parlayed an early career as a dollmaker into become CEO of Lord & Taylor.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
