The Earl and Mildred Ward House is a historic house at 1157 Mitchell Street in Conway, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame structure, with a stone veneer exterior, cream-colored brick trim, and a gabled roof. A gabled porch projects from the center of the modest house, with an arched opening lined with bricks. The house was built in 1949 by African-American mason Silas Owens, Sr., and is the only house he is known to have done in granite instead of his preferred sandstone.[2]

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