The Jameson-Richards Gas Station is a historic automobile service station on Arkansas Highway 367 in Bald Knob, Arkansas. Built in the early 1930s, it is a typical period roadside service building, a single-story brick structure with English Revival styling. It is rectangular in plan, with a projecting porte-cochere that has Tudor style half-timbered stucco in its gable end. The main garage bays have original two-leaf swinging doors, and the office area has original multipane casement windows. It stands near the Jameson-Richards Cafe, a similar period roadside building.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
