The Leonard Gordon Homestead, Hexagonal Grain Crib is a historic farm outbuilding in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located off County Road 69, north of Bald Knob. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, finished in board and batten siding and topped by a hexagonal hip roof. It exhibits a high quality of craftsmanship in the mitering of its structural members, suggesting it was intended to be a visually striking structure. Built about 1920, it is the only hexagonal structure identified in an architectural survey of the county.[2]

The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and was delisted in 2017.[1]
