The Phoenix Hotel building at 180 Main Street was the most prominent and distinctive building in downtown Rison, Arkansas. It was a two-story brick building that was built in 1913 by Dr. T. H. Ackerman to replace a previous hotel building on the site. The most distinctive feature of its facade was a basket-handled arch that framed the recessed porch on the second floor. The roof line was more elaborate than that of other downtown buildings, with corbels and brick quoins decorating the roof edge. The hotel went through a modest number of owners before closing its doors in the 1960s. Read more on Wikipedia
