The hall house is a type of vernacular house traditional in many parts of England, Wales, and lowland Scotland, as well as northern Europe, during the Middle Ages, centring on a hall. Usually timber-framed, some high status examples were built in stone.
Unaltered hall houses are almost unknown. Where they have survived, they have almost always been significantly changed and extended by successive owners over the generations.
The Hall House is a historic house at 32 Edgehill Road in an exclusive neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a large two-story brick structure, set on a manicured landscape and appearing as an English country house. It has a two-story projecting entry pavilion, and large gabled dormers with half-timbered stucco finish. Built in 1928, it is one of the largest and most expensive residential commissions of the noted Arkansas firm of Thompson, Sanders & Ginocchio.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The Hall House is a historic house at 10 Kilborn Street in Bethel, Maine. Built in 1910 by Dana and Alfaretta Hall, this house is a rare and distinctive local example of Craftsman style, especially in consideration of its setting in a small Maine town. Although it is predominantly Craftsman in style, it structurally harkens to the traditional connected farmsteads of rural New England. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
