The Sims Hotel was a historic hotel in Plumerville, Arkansas. Located in the town center, it was the last surviving remnant of the town's early heyday as a railroad community. Built in 1860s as a private residence, it was converted to a hotel when the railroad arrived in the 1870s, and was decorated with then-fashionable Gothic gingerbread trim on its two-story porch. It was the only railroad-oriented hotel to survive fires that swept the city's downtown in the early 20th century.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1] It has apparently been demolished, and was delisted in 2000.
