The Home Economics–F.F.A. Building is a historic school building on City Park Drive in Portia, Arkansas. It is a single-story sandstone structure with a gable roof. Its entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed bracketed portico over a concrete stoop, and its roof has typical Craftsman features. It was built in 1937-38 by a crew from the National Youth Administration with funding from the Works Progress Administration, and served for many years as a school building and social venue.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
