Robinson–Gardner Building, also known as the Robinson Brothers Building, is a historic commercial building located at Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina. It was built in 1899, and is a two-story, three-bay, brick building with Renaissance Revival style design elements. The second story of the front facade features a round arch with a decorative cartouche at the keystone position and terra cotta swirls at the bases. Within the arch is a pressed metal swag between a pair of ribboned wreaths pierced by vertical torches. Above the arch, pressed metal wreaths hold another, larger, metal swag.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1] It is located in the Downtown Gastonia Historic District.
