The Nutt-Trussell Building is a historic commercial building at 202 North Main Street in downtown Fordyce, Arkansas. Built in 1883, this two-story structure was the first brick building erected in Fordyce, a railroad town in southwestern Arkansas. Its exterior was covered in stucco c. 1920. It was built by Robert Nutt, who operated a dry goods shop on the premises. It later house the Bank of Fordyce, and its upper floor has a long history of use for social club meetings (notably local Masons), and also housed the city's first telephone exchange. The descendants of L. L. Trussell, a later owner, gave the building to the city in 2000 for use as a local history museum.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
