The Walls Farm Barn and Corn Crib were historic farm outbuildings in rural southern Lonoke County, Arkansas. The barn was a two-story gable-roofed structure, with a broad central hall and a shed-roof extension to one side. The corn crib was a single story frame structure, with a gable-roofed center and shed-roofed extensions around each side. They were built c. 1907–08, and were relatively unaltered examples of period farm architecture when they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. [1] [2] The buildings have been listed as destroyed in the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program database.
