Tyson family commercial building top 5 facts
The Tyson Family Commercial Building is a historic commercial building at 151 Adams Street SE in Camden, Arkansas. Built c. 1923, this vernacular 1 1⁄2 story brick commercial block is one of the few to survive in the city from this time. Its main facade consists of three brick pilasters separated by plate glass windows supported by a metal frame. These are topped by a series of smaller transom windows. The two sections of the front are unequal in size, and one is slightly angled from the other. Although a number of similar buildings were built in the 1920s, most were destroyed by fire in the 1960s. It has always housed a general store.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
