About this property

The former Pettigrew School, now the Pettigrew Community Building is a historic school building in the small community of Pettigrew, Arkansas. It is located off County Road 3205, just across the White River from Arkansas Highway 16. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a metal hip roof and weatherboard siding. An entry section projects from the center of front facade, topped by a gable roof and small belfry. The building is thought to have been built between 1908 and 1915, and was used as a school until 1963, when the area was consolidated into a larger school district. It has served as a community hall since then. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
