The Rife House was a historic house at 1515 South Eighth Street in Rogers, Arkansas. It was a modest single-story house, built out of concrete blocks cast to resemble rusticated stone. It had a gable-on-hip roof, with a shed-roof extension to the rear, and a full-width porch across the front. The porch was supported by four fluted columns fashioned out of concrete blocks. Built c. 1920, this was a local example of a vernacular house built using a once-popular construction material.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988,[1] but has since been destroyed.[3]
