The Frith-Plunkett House is a historic house at 8th and Main Streets in Des Arc, Arkansas. It is a well-proportioned two story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, weatherboard siding, and a foundation of brick piers. A Neoclassical two-story porch projects from the center of what is otherwise a typical I-house, giving it a distinctive Greek Revival character. Built in 1858, it is the oldest standing residence in the city.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
