The Stipe Cotton Gin is a historic cotton gin at Florida and Cypress Streets in Beebe, Arkansas. It is a two-story steel-framed structure, clad in corrugated metal, that houses the steam compressor and other equipment for processing and baling cotton. The complex also includes a seed storage building, and a circular structure of uncertain function. Built about 1930, it is one of only five to survive in White County from that period, when cotton production was locally at its peak.[2]
The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
