Benjamin Clayton Black House in Searcy AR Found! Another old newspaper clipping that has interesting history about the house. Problem? No date. Solution?

What a great old picture salvaged from a December 30, 1983 newspaper in Searcy AR. My real estate career has been long and began in 1979. I remember the love that went into restoring this old house so that the Yancey-Quattlebaum real estate firm could operate from this location. They took great care in making the house as authentic as possible and it still is to this day. In fact, today it is the home of the Searcy Fine Arts Council. Click here for more about the house and for a picture that is more recent. Unfortunately, E. D. Yancey has passed … (3 comments)
