The Greyhound Bus Station in Blytheville, Arkansas, is a fantastic example of the Streamline Moderne architectural style. Designed by William Nowland Van Powell, a Memphis architect, and built by Ben Watson White, a Blytheville native, the station was built in 1937.

While photographing the station, a car stopped, and a man asked if I wanted to see the inside. I was lucky enough that George Hubbard, a Blytheville native and volunteer, saw me while he was at the bank and stopped to ask. Of course, I said yes.

George shared how they were committed to a historically accurate restoration. The light fixtures were either repaired or new ones were made. Original door pulls were found online to replace missing ones.

The city uses it as the office for Main Street Blytheville. George shared that the space is booked all the time for special events.

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
