Hessinger Store is a historic general store located at Callicoon Center in Sullivan County, New York. The building also functioned as a post office, dance hall, and hotel / rooming house. It is a large wood frame building constructed in four phases over a 20 to 50 year period starting about 1840. It is built of heavy timber, post and beam construction and built into a hillside on a stone foundation. The largest section is the 2 12-story center section. The second floor of the south wing originally served as a Masonic hall and features a barrel vaulted ceiling.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

In December 2010, the town of Calicoon decided to demolish the building.
