Missouri Pacific Railway Van Noy Eating House

Location
  
Southeast of Seamans Drive and Railroad Street, McGehee, Arkansas

The Missouri Pacific Railway Van Noy Eating House is a historic restaurant building at the corner of Seamans Drive and Railroad Street in McGehee, Arkansas. The single story brick building was constructed c. 1910 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and housed a dining establishment operated by the Van Noy Railway News and Hotel Company. It is one of a small number of such buildings to survive in the state. The building was divided into three parts: a central kitchen served a lunch counter area on one side, and a dining room on the other. The establishment closed in 1948.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
