The Damascus Gymnasium is a historic school building on Arkansas Highway 285 in Damascus, Arkansas. It is a rustic 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a central clerestory section covered by a gable-on-hip roof, and side wings covered by a shed roof. The main entrance, on the east side, is sheltered by a gabled porch, with secondary entrances on the south side, each sheltered by a gable roof supported by large brackets. The gymnasium was built in 1933 with funding support from the Works Progress Administration.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
