Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center Memorial Bricks - Calico Rock, Arkansas - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

My Commentary:
his building now houses the Calico Rock Museum - a free museum that highlights the history of the area with displays of artifacts, art, and other memorabilia. The museum is also the Visitor Bureau for the town and the surrounding area.

This building was originally located across the street. From what I am reading from their Twitter feed, they had this display in front of the entrance of the old building and moved the bricks here. It doesn't appear that they are adding to the display. The brick I took a closeup picture of was Fred H. Gustafson (U. S. Navy WWI) - Amy Johnson (Gustafson) Smith - John (Johannson) Gustafson.
Fred Gustafson's headstone notes that he was a Machinist's Mate Second Class.

Because of the high curbing, the only way to really see the brick display is a photo down the sidewalk.

There is a marker on the right side of the facade. It reads:

- Marker Text

Constructed circa 1924 by Robert Hayden. The facade is built of buff brick with a decorative band of darker brick at the top of the parapet. Large display windows flank a central recessed double-door entry. The metal awning is an addition, but the storefront itself is original.

Built by Robert Hayden, the facade is of buff brick with a decorative band of darker brick at the top. Cheney's Department Store took full advantage of the large display windows flanking the double-door entry.
