The Old Alexander House is a historic house on the campus of Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Arkansas. Originally built in rural Columbia County in 1855 by Samuel Alexander, this single-story dogtrot house is one of the oldest buildings in the county, and one of its few surviving antebellum structures.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] In 2017 it was moved from its rural location to the university campus, where it is slated to be used as part of its rural studies program.
