The Commandant's House is a historic house at 264 McClellan Drive in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. It is a single story wood frame structure, with a side-gable main block flanked by front gable wings, giving it a U shape. The house was built in 1942 by the United States Army as the residence of the commander of the Walnut Ridge Army Flying School, and is the only building known to survive from that endeavor. It was also later the home of H.E. Williams, the founder of the nearby Williams Baptist College.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
