The Goff and Gamble Merchandise Store is a historic retail establishment in the center of Gillham, Arkansas, just north of the railroad tracks. Built in stages between 1900 and 1911, it is one of the few surviving structures in the community dating to its boom years in the early 20th century. The first section of the building, built 1900, has a wooden storefront topped by a metal cornice, and is the westernmost part of the building. The central section, built out of concrete blocks in 1906, has an entrance facing north, with that elevation topped by a parapet. The eastern section, completed in 1911, is also fashioned from concrete blocks. Its storefront also faces north, flanked by pilasters, and also topped by a simple parapet.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996,^[1] at which time it was still in use as a general store.^[2]
