The Claude Fouke House was a historic house at 501 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It was a two-story brick structure with a hip roof, set on a raised corner lot. It was one of the city's most elaborate Classical Revival structures, with a monumental temple front supported by pairs of fluted Ionic columns rising the full height of the facade. The roof had an elaborate modillioned cornice, with a small triangular pediment containing a half-round window. The interior of the house contained equally impressive woodwork. The house was built in 1903 by Claude Fouke, the son of railroad baron George Fouke. ()
