The Girls' Domestic Science and Arts Building is an academic building on the campus of the Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry building, with a tile hip roof, and walls finished in brick and stone. The roof is pierced by hip-roofed dormers on both the long and short sides.[2] It was built in 1913 and extensively renovated in 1935.[3][4] It is now known as the Old Art Building.[4] The Public Works Administration provided funds for school construction in January 1934, of which $7,500 was allocated for renovating this building.[4]
The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
