Buford School Building
The Buford School Building is a historic school building on Arkansas Highway 126 in Buford, Arkansas. It is a single-story Plain Traditional structure with Craftsman touches, built in 1936 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. It is fashioned out of mortared gray limestone, with a metal roof and a concrete foundation. The main (east-facing) facade has a projecting gabled porch, supported by concrete piers. The roof is decorated with rafter ends and knee brackets. The building was used as a school until 1960, and has afterward seen other uses, including as a community center.[2]
