The Adrian Fletcher Residence was a historic house at 6725 Washington (East Huntsville) Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was a single-story stone and wood structure with a shallow-pitched gable roof, set near the north side of an 80-acre (32 ha) parcel of land on the south side of East Huntsville Road. It was divided roughly into three sections, consisting of the main house, an open breezeway, and a carport. Built in 1957, it was a significant early work of E. Fay Jones, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright; it was his first commission completed after official recognition as an architect, and it became a showcase of his work, being written up and photographed for several magazines.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]

Bill Clinton lived there in the mid-1970s while he was a law professor at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. The house burned down on June 8, 2017, and was declared a total loss.[3] It was delisted from the National Register in 2021.[4]
