Old South Restaurant

The Old South Restaurant is a historic diner and local restaurant landmark at 1330 East Main Street in Russellville, Arkansas. It is a modular single-story structure, with streamlined Art Moderne styling consisting of exterior porcelain-coated aluminum paneling, bands of fixed windows, and a protruding aluminum entrance, above which a neon-lighted sign rises. The diner was built in 1947 out of manufactured parts produced by the National Glass and Manufacturing Company of Fort Smith, Arkansas. Construction time was six days. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
