The Southern Mercantile Building is a historic commercial building at 107 East Buchanan in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick and masonry structure, with a stuccoed parapet. It consists of two separate buildings, one dating to 1883, that were combined under the unifying parapet about 1920. The building is the largest and best-preserved example of that period's commercial architecture in the city. It served for many years as Prairie Grove's largest and most important general store, finally closing its doors in 1987.[2]

The buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
