The '''Woman's Progressive Club''' is a historic meeting hall at the southwest corner of Rowena Street and Merriman Avenue in [[Wynne, Arkansas]]. It is a single story brick structure, with a gable-on-hip roof. It was built in the 1930s with funding from the [[Works Progress Admininstration]], and is a relatively ornate example of Colonial Revival architecture. The hall, whose interior largely consists of an auditorium with stage, was built for [[Cross County, Arkansas|Cross County's]] oldest social organization, the Woman's Progressive Club, which was founded in 1913. The hall has long been a local venue for public, private, and civic events, and is the finest performance space in the city.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://ift.tt/152WonU nomination for Woman's Progressive Club|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2014-11-22}}</ref>
