The Gurdon Jail is a historic city jail at West Joslyn and Front Streets in Gurdon, Arkansas. The single-story brick building, which contains two cells, was built in 1907 by the owner of the local brick company. It is the only such structure in the city, and is one of a few surviving buildings from Gurdon's boom time as a lumber town in the early 20th century.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
