The Chisum House is a historic house at 1320 South Cumberland Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two story frame structure, with a hip roof and an exterior sheathed in clapboards and decorative cut shingles. The roof is capped by a pair of finials, and there is a three-story square tower angled at one corner, topped by a bellcast roof and finial. The design is varied in the Queen Anne style, with multiple sizes and configurations of windows and porches, the latter featuring turned woodwork. Built in 1894, it is one of the city's relatively few Queen Anne Victorians. It was built by Jason Sowell, one of the city's leading families, in what was then its most exclusive neighborhood.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
