The Breedlove House and Water Tower are a historic residential property on the south side Benton County Route 4 east of Bentonville, Arkansas, about 1.1 miles (1.8 km) east of its junction with Arkansas Highway 72. The two-story house is a c. 1887 brick structure that was enlarged and restyled c. 1907, giving it a mix of original Italianate and Eastlake detailing, and a front Colonial Revival two-story porch. The property includes a 28-foot (8.5 m) square brick tower, built c. 1920 as a water supply for an apple orchard. The tower is the only structure surviving in the county from the period known to be associated with the then-significant apple industry.[2]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
