The Bunch-Walton Post No. 22 American Legion Hut is a historic social club meeting hall at 201 Legion Street in Clarksville, Arkansas. It is architecturally unique in the community, built out of native stone in the manner of a Norman castle. It is two stories in height, with rounded projecting corners and a crenellated parapet. Its main entrance is set in a rounded-arch opening at the center of the front facade, and is elevated, with access via flight of stairs. It was built in 1934, and is believed to be the only American Legion hall of this style in the state.[2]
