The Walter B. Sorrells Cottage is a historic administrative (and formerly residential) building on the campus of the Southeastern Arkansas Community Correction Center in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It is a two story frame building, finished in brick on the first floor and stucco and half-timbering on the second, with Craftsman-style eaves adorned with exposed rafter ends and brackets. Built in 1920 to a design by Pine Bluff architect Mitchell Seligman, it was the first permanent structure of what was then known as the Boys Industrial School, a state facility for troubled youth.[2]

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