Three States Lumber Company Mill Powerhouse

Location
  
Old Mill Rd., Burdette, Arkansas

The Three States Lumber Company Mill Powerhouse, also known as the Burdette Plantation Company Store, is a historic industrial site on Old Mill Road in Burdette, Arkansas. The only surviving element of what was once a much larger sawmill, the powerhouse is a two-part structure built in 1909 to provide electrical power to the Three States Lumber Company. The northern part of the building is a two-story brick structure with a gable roof, while the southern part is a single-story shed-roof concrete structure, which includes the remnants of a smokestack. The Three States company ran a large sawmill on this site between 1906 and 1922, removing most of the structures when its operations shut down. The property was converted into a plantation when the company moved out, and this building became the company store.

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
