**Christian Heinrich "Henry" Thane** (February 10, 1850 – July 4, 1938) was a wealthy businessman and bank owner in Arkansas. His [Craftsman](/source/American_Craftsman)-style home, [Thane House](/source/Thane_House), was designed by Little Rock architect [Charles L. Thompson](/source/Charles_L._Thompson_and_associates).[2] It is listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places). He was a Republican.[3]

Thane was born in Germany and raised in [Metropolis, Illinois](/source/Metropolis,_Illinois). An important figure in the development of [Arkansas City](/source/Arkansas_City,_Arkansas), he held various political offices, including mayor. He worked as a lawyer for the Little Rock, Pine Bluff & New Orleans Railroad, owned a lumber mill, and a bank.[4]

Thane was elected to the Arkansas Senate and served representing the 15th District ([Desha](/source/Desha_County,_Arkansas) and [Chicot](/source/Chicot_County,_Arkansas) counties) in the [24th Arkansas General Assembly](/source/24th_Arkansas_General_Assembly) and the [25th Arkansas General Assembly](/source/25th_Arkansas_General_Assembly).[5]
