The American Legion Post No. 131 is a historic meeting hall on Center St. west of its junction with Walnut St., in Leslie, Arkansas. It is a single-story log structure, with a gable roof that extends over the front porch, with large knee braces in the Craftsman style for support. It was built in about 1935 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Its log styling is typical of the Rustic architecture used in WPA projects.[2]
The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
