The Old Post Office is a historic former post office building at 120 West Poplar Street in Rogers, Arkansas. It is a Georgian Revival single-story brick building, built in 1917 to a design by the Office of the Supervising Architect. The building served as the city's main post office until the late 1940s. It was then adapted to house the Rogers Public Library, which occupied the premises between 1963 and 1994. An example of Georgian Revival architecture, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as "Rogers Post Office Building".

Rogers Commercial Historic District
Rogers Commercial Historic District

The Rogers Commercial Historic District, known informally as Historic Downtown Rogers, is a historic district in the central business district of Rogers, Arkansas. When it was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, it was known as the Walnut Street Historic District; this was changed when the district was enlarged in 1993. The district encompasses a portion of the city's central business district, whose historical significance extends from about 1885 to the end of World War II.The original 1988 boundary of the district included buildings on two blocks of Walnut Street, between Second and Arkansas Streets, and encompasses a cluster of predominantly commercial buildings built between 1885 and 1912. These buildings were predominantly Italianate commercial masonry buildings. In 1993 the district was enlarged to include two blocks of First and Second Streets, between Walnut and Poplar Streets, which also included historically significant commercial buildings constructed up to 1943. This enlargement included the previously-listed Old Post Office, Lane Hotel, Applegate Drugstore, and Bank of Rogers Building. This enlargement included a wider variety of architectural styles, notably the Colonial Revival architecture of the old post office, and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of the Lane Hotel. The district was further enlarged in 1998 to include 120 South Second Street, and in 2002 to include the Victory Theater. In 2012 it was enlarged yet again, adding the 200 block of West Elm Street.
