The Carpenter Building is a historic commercial building at 136 East Main Street in Gentry, Arkansas. Built in 1927–29, it is a single-story masonry structure, its exterior finished mainly in red brick and hollow clay tile. A stepped parapet obscures the flat roof, and the front facade is inset with square pier supports, giving the impression of a portico. The interior includes surviving original sections of tin ceilings. The building originally housed a retail grocery, as well as a mortuary and funeral chapel, but has since been repurposed to other uses.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.[1]
