The Martindale Corn Crib is a historic farm outbuilding in rural northern White County, Arkansas. It is located west of Letona, in a field near a barn on the south side of Arkansas Highway 310.

Built in 1924, it is a rare surviving example of post-and-nailer construction, in which the wall studs are stabilized by a horizontal member halfway up their length. [2]
