The Rucker House, also known as the Caretaker's House is a historic house at Benton and School Streets in Bauxite, Arkansas. It is a vernacular two-story wood-frame structure, with a side gable central section that has a cross-gable section at the western end, and a second wing extending northward from the eastern end. A porch extends across the front as far as the cross-gable section, with a shed roof supported by simple posts. The house was built in 1905 by the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, a predecessor of Alcoa, whose bauxite mining business dominated the local economy.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.^[1] It was deemed important as the only surviving, intact house of the original Bauxite, a company town that was established in 1903. It was home of the company's plant supervisor, W. A. Rucker.^[2]
