The Tillman Shaw House is a historic house at 500 South 19th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The house is an architecturally eclectic two-story brick structure, set on an artificially raised plot in a neighborhood of predominantly smaller houses. It has a basic American Foursquare structure, with stylistic embellishments borrowed from a number of styles, including the Mission Revival, Prairie School, and Colonial Revival. It was built in 1909 by Tillman Shaw, a prosperous saloon owner in the then-frontier town. Shaw's fortunes were ruined by the advent of Prohibition, and he was forced to sell the house in 1919.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
