The Hanger Cotton Gin is a historic cotton gin in Sweet Home, Arkansas. Built about 1876, it is a rare surviving example of a steam-powered gin. The main building is a three-story frame structure covered in board-and-batten siding. The gin was only operated commercially for a brief period, and was out of service by 1892. Since then, the building has been used as a barn and grain storage facility. It was probably built by Peter Hanger, whose family has been prominent in the Little Rock business community since that time.[2]
The gin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
