The Beely-Johnson American Legion Post 139 is a historic meeting hall at 200 North Spring Street in Springdale, Arkansas. It is a single-story vernacular structure, built out of rough-cut stone laid in irregular courses, and topped by a gable roof. The building is one of the few remaining stone buildings on Springdale. It was built in 1934 with locally raised funding after a grant proposal to the Civil Works Administration, a federal government jobs program, was rejected. The building has served as a meeting point for a large number of local civic organizations, and has been used as a polling place.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 for its architecture and role in the area's social history.[1]
