Silas Owens, Sr.

Silas Owens Sr. (born 1907) was a mason and builder in Arkansas.

Born in the Faulkner County in 1907, Owens was one of six sons born to Haywood Owens. Owens, like many young boys at that time, worked on the family farm, picking and cultivating cotton. Haywood also would let his sons watch construction work, which Silas took in awe. Owens then received training in carpentry and drafting from a local man; however, his skill in rockwork was largely self-taught. Shortly thereafter, Owens branched out and started contracting.

His works include many listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
