The Charles R. Craig Building is a historic commercial building at 113 South Main Street in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a brick two story building, clad in stucco and a distinctive pressed metal facade with Italianate styling. It was built c. 1900 by Charles Craig, a real estate broker and merchant. The building was later occupied by J. W. Blocker, who owned the Bentonville Apple Evaporator. It is believed that he installed the large walk-in safe on the premises. It continues to be used for housing professional offices.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
