The A. Landi General Merchandise Building is a historic commercial building on Arkansas Highway 8 near Eudora, Arkansas in the village of Grand Lake. Built c. 1920, it is a single story wood frame building with Plain Traditional styling, including a central section on its main facade with a raised parapet section over the centered entrance. The building is significant for its association with the Landi family, one of a small number of Italian immigrants to remain in the area after the plantation economy collapsed.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
