The Luke Bone Grocery-Boarding House is a historic mixed-use commercial and residential building at Main and Market Streets in Bald Knob, Arkansas. It is a two-story structure, faced in cut stone but structurally built out of brick. It has a single storefront, sheltered by an open porch, with a pair of sash windows above. When built c. 1915, it housed a shop and restaurant below, and a hotel above, serving railroad passengers. The hotel was later converted to a boarding house, and the cut stone exterior was added in the 1930s, when the style was popularized by projects of the Works Progress Administration. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1]
