The Alden House is a historic house in a rural part of southern Bentonville, Arkansas. It stands in an agricultural area which lies on 0.75 miles (1.21 km) north and 0.4 miles (0.64 km) west of the community of Osage Mills. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, most notable for a single-story porch, which wraps around three sides of the house. The main entrance is located in the beveled northwest corner of the building. The house, built in c. 1900 by the son of Philo Alden, a leading local farmer of the time, has a distinctive combination of Colonial Revival and Eastlake Victorian features.[2]
