My Commentary:
This building is currently unoccupied. There is a large oversized rocking chair out front of the building for photo opportunities. "Calico Rock Hardware Store" has been painted at the cornice.
Occupying a corner lot, this building was constructed by J. T. Garner in 1933. This is the third building to occupy this site. Of stone construction with a red brick facade, the structure is one of the tallest on this side of the street. The six bay facade is rhythmically articulated by alternating piers and recessed panels. The windows at each corner are twelve-over-one. Two entrances are separated by two central display windows. The side elevation has no fenestration. Wood stairs at the rear lead up to a second floor rear entrance.

—Built in 1923, it was the first building rebuilt after the fire. The building housed Joseph T. Garner’s mercantile and later, a series of hardware stores. Ferrill/Forsyth Hardware later became Calico Rock Hardware Company, run by Charles and Euna Woods Ferrill. In 1964 the Ferrills sold their business to the competition across the street, Perryman Hardware. So from 1964 until 1987, Perryman Hardware was located here (moved across the street from the museum building). In 1987 Christian and Carolyn Eck purchased the hardware business and building and reused the Calico Rock Hardware Company name. Now an antique store—when did last hardware store go out?
