The William Thomas Abington House is a historic house on Center Street in Beebe, Arkansas, midway between East Mississippi Street and Birch Street. It is a roughly square two-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof of original metal, and a two-story porch extending across its front facade. Although it is typical of houses built in Beebe in the 1880s, it is one of only a few of the type to survive. It was designed by the first owner, William Thomas Abington, who moved to Beebe with his family in the late 1870s. Abington's son, William H., was a prominent local doctor and politician; the Abington Library at Arkansas State University Beebe is named for him.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
