The **Rector Log Barn** is a historic barn in rural [Izard County, Arkansas](/source/Izard_County,_Arkansas). It is located on the Rector Plantation, at the end of County Road 218, northwest of [Melbourne](/source/Melbourne,_Arkansas). Its central portion, a log structure 2 1⁄2 stories in height, was built c. 1855, and is the only known example in the region of an [antebellum era](/source/Antebellum_era) log barn. The main structure is flanked on all sides by 20th-century single-story [shed-roof](/source/Shed-roof) extensions, which serve in part to protect the historic log elements. The barn was built by Joseph William Rector, an early settler of Izard County, probably with the use of slave labor.[2]

The barn was listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1993.[1]
