McBride General Store - https://abandonedar.com/mcbride-general-store/ (👈CLICK TO SEE FULL ARTICLE AND PHOTO GALLERY, FOR FREE!) The town of Havana was founded in 1903. It currently has a population of 357 people; an abandoned store in the middle of town is what made me stop and notice Havana. The store in question was the McBride store, opened in the 1920s by Wayne McBride after deciding the banking profession was not for him. The store was a family-oriented business from the beginning, and the town heavily depended on the store. During the depression years, the store stayed open, operating on credit. Open 12-14 hours a day, and one of the few stores in Havana, people were dependent on the store. With its family-like atmosphere, the store was packed with customers, passersby, and the town’s gossip.

Savage Theater Opening on May 20, 1947, the Savage Theater was once the lifeline of Booneville, Arkansas. Through the decades, it has been passed down through several owners until the curtains closed in September 2011. The theater was originally owned by E.W. Savage and could seat 520 people and (offered viewers) one screen. Savage sold the building in 1968 to Frank and Elise Patterson. #abandonedarkansas #abandonedar #abandonedarchitecture #history #abandonedplaces #abandoned #abandonedtheater #abandonedtheaters
Taber-Patterson House Click me to see more photos and read more! https://AbandonedAR.com/taber-patterson-house/ Built circa 1885, the Taber-Patterson house at 1624 Louisiana is classified as “eclectic” style: a mix of Eastlake and Craftsman. It has undergone multiple changes, from being divided into three large apartments, then converted back to one large home. Currently, the Quapaw Quarter Association is assisting the caretaker with preventing further deterioration by placing multiple tarps on the roof after a large hole has caused significant water damage. It will be for sale, as there is significant interest in rehabilitating this beautiful piece of Downtown Little Rock’s history, once legal issues are wrapped up following the last owner’s passing. https://AbandonedAR.com #abandonedarkansas #abandonedar #abandonedarchitecture #abandonedplaces #abandoned #history #abandonedhouse #abandonedworld #abandonedplaces #abandoned_junkies

Army Navy Hospital - AbandonedAR.com/army-navy-hospital/ (👈Full history and Photo Gallery!) This historic building's future is unknown and could soon follow the same fate as the Majestic Hotel if nothing is done soon. Because the building was originally built by the federal government and was only allowed to be used by Hot Springs under the lease agreement made in 1960 stipulating that the State of Arkansas could inhabit the building so long as it was used for hospital purposes of some kind. After its closure arguments about who actually owned the hospital now started to arise with neither the State nor the Government wanting to claim ownership leaving the building in limbo. Clay Farrar who has been leading talks of finding the correct owner so work on preservation can begin says the building would easily cost roughly $1,000,000 a year and believes this is why no one wants to claim ownership.
