The Coca-Cola Building is a historic commercial building at 211 North Moose Street in Morrilton, Arkansas. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of red brick with limestone trim. It has relatively clean Colonial Revival lines, with stone string courses between floors, a stone cornice below a parapet, and stone panels carved with the stylized Coca-Cola logo. It was built in 1929 to a design by the noted Arkansas architectural firm Thompson, Sanders & Ginocchio.[1]

During the 1960s the building served as the first home for Walmart store #8. The City of Morrilton used the building from the 1970s until 2019 as a home to city government and the Morrilton Police Department. In 2019, Crow Group purchased the building and relocated its administrative offices to the site.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
