Description
"This building at Elbow Lake houses the public library and also serves as a community building. It is one story and a basement in height and contains the library with a separate entrance on one end, and a community room with a stage and a kitchen, and two clubrooms which are provided with an entrance and a lobby of their own. The clubrooms are separated by a folding partition so that they can be used as one room.
The structure is semifireproof with exterior walls of brick trimmed with stone. The project was completed in May 1934 at a construction cost of $33,670 and a project cost of $37,329."
