J.C. Berry's Dry Goods Store is a historic commercial building at 331 Old South Main Street in Yellville, Arkansas. It is a two-story block, built out of local limestone with pressed metal trim. The ground floor has a glass commercial store front, sheltered by a porch, and the second story has a bank of six windows, each flanked by a pair of Ionic pilasters. The roof has an extended overhang supported by brackets, and a highly decorated parapet. The metal elements of the facade were manufactured by the Mesker Brothers, a nationally known producer of metal architectural goods based in St. Louis, Missouri. The building was built in 1903 by J.C. Berry, and was operated as a dry goods business until 1912, when Berry's nephew Rex Floyd converted it for use as a hotel after his Park Hotel burned down. The hotel closed in 1952, and the building has seen a succession of mixed commercial and residential uses.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
