The Wilson High School Gymnasium, located at Main and Lee Streets in Wilson, Arkansas, is a large single-story Art Deco brick structure built in 1948 that remains remarkably well preserved despite decades of vacancy. Originally used until the early 2000s, the facility housed a gymnasium floor equipped with basketball hoops and scoreboards, as well as floor mounts for boxing ring posts—reflecting the sport's popularity in Mississippi County from the 1940s through the 1970s. The gymnasium's size and functionality made it a venue for state basketball tournaments in its early years. An indoor swimming pool at the rear of the building retains its original tile work. The structure's original floors, bleachers, and equipment survive largely intact. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
