The Ridgeway Hotel Historic District encompasses three buildings located just east of the town square of Monticello, Arkansas. The centerpiece of the district is the Ridgeway Hotel, a five-story brick building built in 1930; it is the tallest, and one of the most elaborately decorated buildings in Monticello's central business district. The district also includes 202 East Gaines Street (a similar-period brick building) and the H.M. Wilson Building.[1]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009; in 2011 the three buildings were converted into a combined senior center and housing complex.[2]
