The Worthen Bank Building is a historic commercial building at 401 Main Street in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a two story masonry structure with neoclassical and Art Deco lines. It has a steel frame and is faced in limestone. Three bays of three-part windows stand on the second floor, and two flank the center entry. The building was constructed in 1928 for the Worthen Bank, founded in 1877 (later Boatmen's Bancshares and Bank of America), and was designed by George R. Mann, a prominent local architect whose best-known work is the Arkansas State Capitol. In 1969 the building was acquired by local television station KATV, which converted into studios.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
