The Bedford Brown Bethell House is a historic house at 2nd and Curran Streets in Des Arc, Arkansas. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and weatherboard siding. The main facade is symmetrical, with a single-story hip-roofed porch that wraps around the left side. The main entrance is framed by sidelight windows, and topped by a transom. A Palladian-style three-part window stands on the second floor above the entrance, with a half-round fanlight. The roof is pierced by hip-roof dormers. The lot is lined on its street-facing sides by an iron fence. The house was built in 1912–13, and is one of the city's finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[1]
