Medical Arts Building is a historic medical office building located at Newport News, Virginia. It was designed by noted architect Charles M. Robinson and built in 1928. It is a four-story, nine bay by ten bay, rectangular brick building with Greek Revival style decorative elements. It has a heavy galvanized metal, denticulated cornice with a denticulated pediment over the projecting center section. The flat roof is fronted by a tall, brick, parapet wall topped by cast concrete. The front entrance is flanked by pilasters that support the entablature with the incised name Medical Arts Building. Above this is a shallow denticulated cornice that crowns the entire composition and carries a cast iron balustrade or false balcony.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
