The collection was stored in various places for the first couple of years, until the newly formed civic club founded by the local ladies decided to build a new library on Cedar St. (once called College St.) The three directors of the Circulating Library Association were Mrs. Fannie A. Campbell, Mrs. Joe E. Routt and Miss Nannie Adams.

The library was built in a Colonial Revival style by Mr. J.W. Heartfield. The plan is nearly square 20` x 24` with clapboard siding and corner beads. There is a hipped roof that is now asphalt, but was once shingled in cedar. The front elevation exhibits a semi-circular portico supported by two Doric columns capped with oversized capitals and two pilasters.

No known photograph of J.W. Heartfield has been found.
