The Carl and Esther Lee House is a historic house at 17493 United States Route 65 West in Damascus, Arkansas. It is a 1+12-story wood-frame structure, with a stone veneer exterior and cream-colored brick trim. The front facade has projecting gable sections, with a porch sheltered by one such section with curved-arch openings. The larger gables have sunburst brick designs near their peaks. The house was built about 1948; the exterior stonework was done by Silas Owens, Sr., a regionally prominent stonemason. The house exhibits many of Owens's hallmarks, including the use of cream-colored brick, herringbone-patterned stonework, and arched openings.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
