The Martindale Corn Crib is a historic farm outbuilding in rural northern White County, Arkansas. It is located west of Letona, in a field near a barn on the south side of Arkansas Highway 310. The corn crib is a small single-story wooden structure, built out of plank framing on a stone pier foundation, with a gabled metal roof on top. Built in 1924, it is a rare surviving example of post-and-nailer construction, in which the wall studs are stabilized by a horizontal member halfway up their length.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
