Easement of the Month - Former Pulaski County Library
From the National Register listing: Pulaski County's Public Library was originally the city's post office, which was constructed in 1912 and designed by government architect James Knox Taylor.
When the post office moved in 1972, the building was remodeled for use as the county library. Designed in the Neo-Classic style, this building is the best example of its type in the county. The building is seven bays wide, two stories in height and of frame and stone construction. It features a raised porch with unfluted Doric columns and Doric pilasters. Windows are paired four-over-four sash with architrave molding. The main entrance has double doors and a transom bar and transom displaying iron grillwork. Above the windows is a fret band with wave molding. The cornice is very detailed with guttae, metopes, modillion blocks, dentils and a raised parapet. The interior is somewhat remodeled, but the lobby retains the original egg and dart melding and dentils at the ceiling.
