The M. E. Davis House is a historic house at 200 North Knox Street in Dermott, Arkansas. The two story wood-frame house was built in 1925, and is one of the largest houses in Dermott; it is still one of only a few two story houses there. The Craftsman style house was built for Matthew E. Davis, an African-American businessman. Davis was notable in the town for opening his home to impoverished African-Americans leaving the sugar cane plantations by train, and helping them find work in the local mills and acquire their own homes.
