Revel General Store
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Revel General Store is a historic commercial building at the southwest corner of Arkansas Highway 260 and Woodruff County Road 17 in Revel, Arkansas. It is a small single-story vernacular wood-frame structure, finished in its original weatherboard siding, and sporting a false parapet in front of a gabled roof. Built in 1908, it is the only commercial building in the hamlet, served as its general store until about 1975.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20745488. Authority coordinates are 35.230, -91.282. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1908, 1975 and 2003.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
