The Wheel Store is a historic commercial building at River and Broad Streets in Batesville, Arkansas. It is a two-story ashlar sandstone structure, with a flat roof. Its front facade has a single storefront, with two now-filled window openings flanking the entrance on the first level, and two windows above. The building was erected in 1887 to house a store and meeting space for a local chapter of the Agricultural Wheel, an agrarian reform organization established in Arkansas in the early 1880s.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
