The Slack–Comstock–Marshall Farm is a historic farmstead in Uniontown, Arkansas, built in 1918 in the Plain Traditional style. The farmhouse exemplifies uncommon vernacular design, having begun as a modest structure and later expanded with a substantial three-room, 1½-story addition featuring a cross gable roof; a wraparound porch was added to unify the enlarged composition. The property was worked by three families over generations, who raised livestock and cultivated cotton, corn, and strawberries. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, the farm was sold by Marshall family descendants in 2019, after which new owners undertook a comprehensive ground-up restoration that preserved the original vernacular character and exterior details.
