The Carl House is a historic house at 70 Main Street in Gentry, Arkansas. It is a 1+1\u20442-story brick building with a flared hip roof and an array of hip-roof and gabled dormers. Its front porch is supported by square brick columns, and its gable is decorated with half-timbering, as are other gable ends. The house was built in 1913 by R. H. Carl, president of a local bank, and is a fine local example of Craftsman/Bungalow architecture. Located on Main Street, the fine architectural details such as the sweep of the roof, the coping around the porch, the irregular plan and the matching ancillaries grab the attention of all who pass.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Carpentry is a skilled trade and a craft in which the primary work performed is the cutting, shaping and installation of building materials during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc. Carpenters traditionally worked with natural wood and did rougher work such as framing, but today many other materials are also used and sometimes the finer trades of cabinetmaking and furniture building are considered carpentry. In the United States, 98.5% of carpenters are male, and it was the fourth most male-dominated occupation in the country in 1999. In 2006 in the United States, there were about 1.5 million carpentry positions. Carpenters are usually the first tradesmen on a job and the last to leave. Carpenters normally framed post-and-beam buildings until the end of the 19th century; now this old-fashioned carpentry is called timber framing. Carpenters learn this trade by being employed through an apprenticeship training\u2014normally 4 years\u2014and qualify by successfully completing that country's competence test in places such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and South Africa. It is also common that the skill can be learned by gaining work experience other than a formal training program, which may be the case in many places.
