The Capt. John T. Burkett House is a historic house in rural Ouachita County, Arkansas. It is located at 607 Ouachita County Road 65, near the community of Frenchport. The 1-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1899 by John Burkett, a ship's captain and part-owner of a local lumber mill. He later served as the chief warden at Cummins Prison, and then as a regional agent of the Internal Revenue Service. The house is a fine example of Folk Victorian style. Its front facade has a porch running across its whole width, mounted on piers made of locally-manufactured bricks, with its hip-roof supported by concrete columns that resemble Tuscan-style columns. The balustrade is a metal filigree work. A gable-roof balcony projects above the center of the porch.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
