The Home Ice Company was a historic industrial building at 700 Cate Avenue in Jonesboro, Arkansas. A two-story wood-frame building was erected here in 1907 to house a wagon factory, which in 1920 was enlarged with a Mission Revival facade designed by Henry Lesmeister. From 1929 until 2013 the building was used to house an ice-making operation, and was a rare surviving example of an early ice manufactory. [2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. [1]

The Home Ice Company building was demolished in early 2021 after being condemned by the city due to environmental concerns. It was delisted from the National Register in 2022.
