Federal Building (demolished)

Rison, Cleveland County

The WPA built this two-story Art Deco building next to the Cleveland County Courthouse in Rison in 1940. It was listed on the National Register in 2000, but the Cleveland Historical Society couldn't raise money to save it, and it was torn down around 2005.
