The Col. Jacob Yoes Building is a historic commercial building on Front Street in Chester, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick structure, with styling typical to its 1887 construction date. It has segmented-arch windows, a band of corbelled brickwork at the cornice, below the flat sloping roof. The building was designed to house a dry goods store in one storefront, and a hotel lobby in the other, with guest rooms on the second floor. It is the only commercial building in the center of Chester to survive a pair of devastating fires in the early 20th century.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
