The Duncan House is a historic house in 610 West Central Avenue in Harrison, Arkansas. It is a 1+12-story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing and a busy roofline typical of the Queen Anne style. Distinctive features include metal cresting on the ridge lines, and a wraparound porch with tapered columns and turned balustrade. An octagonal cupola caps the roof. The house was built in 1893 by William Duncan, a local builder, for his own use. It is one of Harrison's few remaining houses of the period which has retained its Queen Anne features.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
