The James Beaty General Merchandise Store, located on U.S. 127/Alvin York Highway in Fentress County, Tennessee, is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. It is eligible under Criterion A due to its function as the primary center of commercial, social, and economic development for the rural community of Grimsley. The store is eligible under Criterion C because it is a largely unaltered example of a rural general store and retains significant design and materials which reflect its original use. The structure is the only commercial building constructed in the first half of the twentieth century in the Grimsley community.
