The Wilson-Martin House is a two-story brick residence at 511 Bond Street in Warren, Arkansas, built in 1916 by John Rufus Wilson, a lawyer, teacher, and state legislator. An excellent local example of Georgian Revival styling, the house features a hip roof, brick corner quoins, and a projecting front entry porch with triangular pediment flanked by three casement Prairie-style windows on each side. The second floor includes a pair of small windows above the entry and flanking sash windows. Originally enclosed single-story porches on three sides have been partially altered—those on the east and south sides were topped with a second-floor chamber—though the house retains much original material, including porch supports. The property features original landscape elements including a poured concrete base wall with brick anchor posts along the north and west property lines, and iron gates mounted on brick gate posts at the sidewalk and driveway entrance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, the house was sold by the Wilsons to merchant Bryan Martin in 1930.
