The Leonard Gordon Homestead, Hexagonal Grain Crib is a historic farm outbuilding in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located off County Road 69, north of Bald Knob. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, finished in board and batten siding and topped by a hexagonal hip roof. It exhibits a high quality of craftsmanship in the mitering of its structural members, suggesting it was intended to be a visually striking structure.
